When do you stop playing a game? (lemm.ee)

Hello, for context I have 76 hours in Burnout Paradise currently. I have achieved 100% on the main island, 100% on the bike DLC, and about 50% on the Big Surf Island. I learned today that to get 100% for Big Surf Island I need to do the multiplayer challenges, which I am not interested in and have no one to do them with. Should I give up on the 100% everything dream?

I stop playing when it stops being fun. Are you having fun, or are you slogging through for the achievements? Sometimes achievements breathe new life into a game, making it challenging to try some new play style. I remember spending a lot of time on the Burnout crash challenges trying to squeeze more value out of each crash to unlock cool trucks. Eventually I realized I wasn't enjoying the crashes, I was counting frames to try to time precise collisions based on cheater's guides, and I'm like "What the fuck am I doing this for?" It was fun, and then it wasn't. That's the time to stop.
