'The endgame' really only started to become a thing with te launch of live service games. Or more specifically at that time, MMO games.
There was a time when it was perfectly okay to have a game you thoroughly enjoyed for say 10-, 20-, or 30 hours, and then 'ended the game'.
With game backlogs also having become a thing, I'm fine with playing a game like this, enjoying it while I am working through it, and then moving on to the next thing.
I don't do live service or MMO games. I DO do games that have an ending of sorts, something to strive towards. E.g. launching a rocket in Factorio, self-sustaining in ONI, etc. With Timberborn to my understanding there's no such thing.
Any citybuilder I put down after 30 hours is probably one I consider a failure. The key thing with citybuilders is they're supposed to have replayability.
Replayability because the core gameplay loop is fun, I whole heartedly support. I still (re)play (Open)TTD for this very reason and that's been here for decades with no end in sight.
Endgame however, not always required.
Build the city, you did it!
New game, some variations and randomness to events and resources, and that’s all ya needed.
