But what I’m really upset about is that people aren’t communicating and cooperating and being respectful of each other and working together and being social and pushing back the alienation and playing and finding joy.
I’m so fucking isolated these days. This is the closest thing that I have to a social outlet. And so many people in multiplayer games just have no interest in communicating or working together, or have no interest in, like… playing in a way that supports the team and works towards a cooperative goal? Like they’re playing by themselves, in a multiplayer lobby, and I absolutely do not understand it and I hate it. I don’t understand why people play multiplayer games when they don’t wan to play with people.
Even funnier when the casual playerbase has been saying the competitive scene is corporate astroturf and divest from it anyway, even before balancing for ‘pro’ play. You mean to tell me ANYONE was paying attention to OWL2 or whatever passes for Halo Infinite’s league without there routinely being skins or currency for skins getting dangled off the hook for ‘incentive’?
