I can concur with the lack of patience for dealing with other players. I spent entirely too much time with counterstrike, but having a prepubescent kid call me a noob because my skills have atrophied is the last thing i want to do in my spare time.
I've actually gravitated towards single-player, mainly due to time constraints. That is one of the reasons I still love FTL, I can actually do an entire playthrough in one sitting. And the only multi-player game I play is Elite Dangerous, which is boredom personified (and I haven't seen another player in game in over 9 months).
I don't agree with the doom and gloom tone of the article, however. In my experience, there has never been a better time to be a gamer with non-mainstream tastes. Especially if you are on PC, the indie market and kickstarter have revived things like CRPGS.
- kop316 8y agoI agree %100 with the indie market. I think the two most played games on my Switch are Overcooked 1/2 and Stardew Valley. Overcooked 2 has been awesome in that my siblings, our significant others, and I can get on a phone chat then play it as if we are on the couch together. We have been carving out a night a week so we can do it, and it has been a great experience. Sadly, we wanted to do that with Super Mario Party and Super Smash Bros (we played those games extensively as kids), and both of those games online mode are hampered to the point that we tried playing it once, then going back to Overcooked.
