The fact that you described several forms of progression as being reasons other than progression immediately tells me I have nothing to say to you ever. Blocked.

What an absolutely infantile response. Especially to make to a co-writer and developer on the game, somebody who is in the best possible stance to debate the content with you.
Why not take a few minutes to explain to me how exactly anyone desires to keep playing ANY game beyond what falls under your vast blanket of "gameplay progression".? Because I quite honestly don't understand how anyone can play or enjoy a game without somehow furthering it's progression unless the game literally has none.
