"can't deal with the isolating nature" sounds like other people do feel a different need/reason to socialise no?

Seems copyright works in part because of the effort involved in producing something that's similar to something else. You can't just copy and it takes effort to make something different enough, that gives the original a bit of a "moat".
If you take away enough of that effort, the investment in new stuff becomes unviable, perhaps.
The hard tutorial/real game divide has another disadvantage, sometimes I forget mechanics straight away and spend the rest of the game (until I get bored/stuck) overusing the one I remember
