Repetitive Variety - a game doesn’t have to be different every time (Topic Discussion)

The concepts of replayability and variety are often considered to
be one and the same. I have previously looked at whether
replayability and variety are linked. My article "Variable
replayability" came to the conclusion that those two concepts are
not necessarily related. A game can offer a lot of variety, but
little replayability and vice versa, a game can be very
replayable without much variety. However, in this article, I want
to look at whether variety should be important to players or
whether we should focus more on replayability.
