This is definitely how it feels, playing with random just isn't the same. My friends have mostly moved on from gaming. Even if they play it's only a couple times a month at most while the rest haven't touched a game since highschool back in the ps3 days.

Same here my friends and family have all moved on from gaming.

None of them were ever interested in doing coop anyway, so doesn't make much of a difference.

Makes most coop games a no go 🙁

When I meet with my friends and we game it's only on a RetroPie and mainly games from the SNES/Genesis and PS1.

We were never into online gaming, not even during the pandemic.

Can't relate. All my friends in their 30s and 40s are still heavy gamers.

Most of my friends are still gamers but we all have pretty different tastes:

  • I play only singleplayer o cooperative games on Playstation 99% of the time
  • My best friend is a pc gamer but he seems to enjoy more buying games than actually playing
  • 2 of my closest friends are pc gamers but are only into multiplayer or "meme" games
  • The last one doesn't play anything besides DOTA and is about to move to the philippines but at least is thinking about buying a Playstation too.

Dota players are full of crazies, especially the SEA one.

I remembered of one of forum got heavily DDOSed by a country DOTA facebook group, because some of people of chatting shit on twitter about a national football match and linking over to the forum.

Another incident I heard a Indonesian Dota player lit the whole town. Truly something else

All my real friends only play fifa and casual mobile games so no problem. I enjoy playing solo, coop with randos, and new friends overseas like here.
