One Life: videogame in which you die once and can't play ever again

What in the ever loving hell are you talking about? Nobody is hating on roguelikes. Roguelikes are interesting and fun when done right, and the idea of one life to game over is fairly interesting. Where this game goes far south, and what you apparently completely missed judging by your post that makes next to zero sense, is the fact that you have only one life. One life. Period. That's it. Once you die, you're locked out of a game you paid money for. That is an awful model. Seriously bad. If you don't see that, then I can just add you to the list of people I hope are never in charge of game design on any level.

the arcades work the same....

And yes you can restart the game by rebuying the game again with a different steam account

Except at arcades you toss in a couple of coins to take a shot and live or die based on your skill. This game is not in an arcade though. This game is on your computer where the arcade model has never existed, and will never thrive regardless of who tries to force it. This game is not based on skill, but rather your luck to not run into someone else who will inevitably take joy in knowing they made you waste money. But no, keep being condescending and telling people how this model is such a good idea despite everybody already clearly outlining why it is bound to fail.
