I love PSO2 but it definitely made most of my gaming time in 2020. I didn't mind at first, but around fall I realized that I couldn't beat or play some other games I wanted because I tried to keep up with the constant content updates, which to be fair were were dropping weekly because they tried to catch up to the Japanese version, meaning we got almost 8 years worth of content in like 9 months or something. However, I made the decision at the end of 2020 to reduce my PSO2 time a bit and only do the minimum to keep up so that I have to time for other things (not just gaming) during my limited free time (which frankly is quite limited at the moment sadly). So far it's working. I think I'll be able to keep this up in 2021 with New Genesis dropping because the content updates won't be as frequent going forward, after all it'll be an entirely new game. I love playing it, I love hanging out with my friends in it. But it certainly took away my limited time to do other stuff I also love.
That being said: While MMOs or GAAS do take up a lot of time, there are certain times when they are really perfect. Like when you really want to dive deep into a game, maybe because it'll be your comfort zone etc. And PSO2 definitely helped me through some rough months when it launched in English on PC.
