Not sure about anyone else but a big issue I have with these games is that the majority of the players are basically being held social hostage by a video game. Even if the core game is fun, it's simply not fun to basically be forced to interact with a bunch of strangers who hate you by default. I understand that one of the easiest ways to make friends is to be put in a hostile environment in a position of hardship with others, but if that were the strategy I think I'd rather do literally anything except let competitive video games become my social life. Maybe I should go join the military or go to prison so that I can "make friends" with people.
Maybe I'm just too much of a hater for 2025 internet or something now that it's "filled with normies" or whatever
