I legitimately had a nightmare last night that I started playing WoW and was like “wow this is amazing, beyond anything I’ve played before, I am going to just play this all the time now”
As a guy who loves extraction shooters, MMOs and FPTS, I’m going to totally agree with that one. The community surrounding the games is filled to the brim with Gamers™
i love MMOs as well but because of the time commitment you either encounter very nice and patient people or the worst incel no life you’ve ever seen. hardcore and full loot pvp MMOs though are just filled with toxic people, the zero sum psychology of these games doesn’t exactly cultivate the best audience.
Also, milsims. Love playing Project Reality/Squad and then have the entire team yell nonsense in mock Arab/asian/russian accents. I haven’t played squad recently, but it got acquired by Tencent I think and they released a PLA DLC, so you can imagine what the servers are like.
other Gamer™ genres you should avoid at all cost:
