No. Single player games are my main thing but Im enjoying MP games more and more, PVE and PVP.

Grew up playing streets of rage, street fighter 2, altered beast and all sorts. So have always played MP games, but since PS3 been predering SP games. Now play both again.

But I still cant put into enough time into something like WOW, FF14 etc

It's so strange to hear how common this complain is. As a Fortnite player, I've not once engaged with, or thought about, any of the games weekly/dailys in 5 or so years.

There's a reason there's a quadrillion monetization schemes by publishers to prey on people's FOMO.
People are just wired that way.

Billboards are expensive too. Still weird to say you're not driving down the highway because they bother you too much.

I like atmosphere and solitarily.
I love good story and to immerse myself.
I get stressed in competitive environment and around other people. I might be an introvert.
very occasionally I've played some battlefield 5 (maybe 40 hours total) and it was fun but that one was very repetitive.

I do like local couch coop with best friend though. It's great.
