Ignoring your points... most of which are silly...
The best reason?
Mods.
There are brilliant brilliant nerds who end up making Mods for a lot of games that greatly extend the time you get with games you love...
New scenarios... hell sometimes even new games to the point of where the modder likely put in as much effort as anyone on the original design team.
And they're free.
For some games you'll spend more time playing mods then the released games!

Blood custom scenarios in Age of Empires 2 *drools*
|
I dunno what blood custom means... but i played the hell out of custom age of empire 2 scenarios.
That and the Custom AI's back when that one site held the "AI wars". All sorts of fun.

The blood scenario maps like Archers Blood, Holy Blood, Castle Blood, Paladin Blood, ect. They usually consisted of placing a unit on a special point where a whole bunch of those units would spawn in and you can use them to battle it out with other players while protecting your main building (where you instantly die when it's destroyed). Then once you get enough kills, other spawnable units would open up.
Yea, I did an AI war once. I pit a rushing AI vs a well structured AI. It looked like the rushing AI would win at first, but it's opponent was able to endure enough that the rushing AI eventually ran out of resources.

Ooooh yeah those were good. So were the RPG scenarios.
Yeah, the AI wars were cool. I collected as many custom AI's as I could to watch them battle each other and to play against.
I wish I could find another game that had so many custom AIs.

Ha that's right, I remember playing a few RPG maps. I really wanted to make one but everytime I started hammering away with the cause and effect parameters the game would crash and I'd end up at the desktop without any error message or anything which was SO frustrating for me at the time. It was probably a RAM limitation and the fact that the computer wasn't too hot to begin with.
That and constantly retrying a room in Half-Life is probably what leads me to quicksave ALL the time in games. Don't want to lose your progress....
