I don't feel compeled to play any online game at the moment except if a friend asks me to play with them. Even then, the only part where I am having fun is when some weird shenanigens happen which doesn't happen at all given how sanetized and "ballanced" games are. I just want to see a funny ragdoll fly off one side of the map, or get an op weapon and listen to trash talk by the enemy team as I obliterate them (or the opposite). I want to mess around with other players and try dumb strats with my pals. Not every modern game is that way but they tend to get fewer and fewer as time comes...

I started feeling this way a while back and eventually realized it wasn't the games that had changed so much, but me. Getting older really does change your interests and how much you have fun with different playstyles.

I used to not want to play games if they didn't have some form of multiplayer, but these days if I get to game at all, all I want is a quality single player experience.

Indeed. While many years ago I was playing almost only League of Legends with friends every evening after school, now I'm more enjoying the quality in note/totk, Celeste, and co. I also feel like online games aren't anymore the places where you could get to know strangers and make online friends. LoL has gotten too toxic and competitive. And Minecraft servers have a 5oo young demographic for me
