Game companies have definitely done their best to try and make multiplayer gaming more and more lonely. I settled in quick to single player cause at least I could have fun and not simultaneously be lonely and dominated by some hyper competitive toxic game matched tryharding BS.

Great, the loss of community now extends to video games as well

Pretty solid. Explains why i stopped liking online-games which i was so damn passionate about 20yrs ago.

Beside being unable to compete with the youngsters 😁

For me other than the lack of time it's the toxicity, if you have say one hour to play, do you really want to listen to some no-life cunt who has been playing all day screaming at you because they are tilted as fuck and need to blame everyone else but themselves? Well I certainly don't need that shit in my life.

"but my community used to be made out of 12 people!"

Well too bad. That's why you're here on Lemmy now. You dislike strangers and love familiarity. I on the other hand love strangers and chaos. That's why I was on Reddit.

This still sort of exists in matchmaking if you play enough.

When you're like top 1% of players you tend to see the same players a lot.

Use to play alot on a CS:Source minigame server, such good times. Was exactly like this, where you'd recognize players and make friends. I'm glad i was able to live this.
