Competitive play used to be fun, but like so many things it was pushed to extremes and taken out of the world of being fun as the end in itself into league plays and people that take it too seriously, to the point people that play 18 hours a day get a fan base instead of therapy.

As someone formerly on the Halo side, the gaming world seemed to turn to shit after Reach.

There are bots that can challenge and destroy any human player, there are as you say single player experiences, so I also don't see the point in engaging with the toxicity of modern multiplayer, except with irl friends.

I have nothing to say about people who go out to places together sometimes also playing together in a game occassion, all fine and well.

Multiplayer with random whoever happens to be online at the time, that's the stuff I call entirely useless and pointless.

Every and all people who can play games for a consistent 12 to 18 only have a screwed future ahead of them. 3 to 4 hours of games can be a great time, 18 straight hours of gaming, that person has emotional problems.

Would you agree that games are simple entertainment, not a goal in life, to one day get good a specific game for multiplayer?
