This pattern is a still a stub.
Contents
Examples
Sandbox Games such as Dwarf Fortress, Minecraft, and Sims series does not force players to strive towards winning conditions and can for this reason continue to be played for as long as players find them interesting. Even those that have more explicit winning conditions, e.g. the Elder Scrolls series and the Grand Theft Auto series, have Negotiable Game Sessions when they let players continue playing after the game is won.
There is no natural ending point for Tabletop Roleplaying Games such as Dungeons & Dragons or Call of Cthulhu as long as the game master and enough players are willing to continue. This gives these games a weak form of Negotiable Game Sessions.
