I just don’t like hyper competitive games. I don’t have time to get frustrated.
I like single player games where I have the option to change things I don’t like via mods or console commands.
I used to like multiplayer back when there was a larger community element. Now no one uses their mic and the lobby changes every match so I’m basically just playing against bots anyway.
Reject modernity, embrace tradition - we’ll still be there for you in the arena and boomer shooter crowd, and of course, various Counter-Strike and Team Fortress 2 lobbies.
Come prepared.
that sounds like older millennials to me, tbh
younger millennials grew up on multiplayer and online games, which were widespread and extremely normalized by the time we were old enough
remember, the youngest millenials were 4 to 6 years old in 2000 and the mid 2000s was the big multiplayer boom for the industry
Halo, COD, Gears of War, Counter Strike: Source, Garrysmod, Minecraft, Trackmania, Everquest, World of Warcraft, Left4Dead, Diablo 2, all of these games came out while we were 6 to 14 years old
As a mid-50’s genXer I wholeheartedly agree.
When I read this, I definitely pictured Gen X or elder millennial first.
Honestly never understood the appeal of multiplayer as an older Gen-Z. I guess it’s like sports, some people just like the spirit of competition.
Yeah if you don’t like team sports you’ll never get it
