Have you got a 'forever game'? (feddit.uk)

As their name suggests, forever (or evergreen) games are games that don’t have a finale or culmination, as in “The End”. These games have a very high replayability factor (meaning we enjoy playing them over and over again).

Forever games are also timeless. We can pick up these games anytime , be it the day they were released, or a few years later, and play them for months or years. We can even stop playing for a while, pick them up again years later, and they’d still be fun and relevant.

Same for me. The wild part is that the majority of my interest in the game comes from the modding community, which has continually output interesting content pretty much this whole time. If all we got was vanilla updates, I doubt I'd have stayed engaged nearly as long.
