All games are time wasting. Rogue-like games don't have no progress, it's just not the same kind of progress other genres tend to have.
I think it's really funny to hate a certain genre of entertainment because it wastes time though. The ultimate point of all entertainment is to waste time and produce dopamine.
I mean like, it's cool to not like rogue-likes because you don't like starting over. That's a valid opinion. But saying it's because you don't want to waste time is kind of hilarious
That's subjective, depends on what you expect from a game. Personally I love them because I just like learning, mastering and beating a system. Others might value a narrative or social aspects of gaming more, and that's allright.
