I should not need to explain this one.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Kinda reminds me of the current state of SW:Squadrons. The only remaining community are the toxic sweats. The player count is so low that you pretty much always have to wait minutes to start x.x

I was talking about Battlefront 2 (2016) but Squadrons also applies. I tried playing that game online 3 times and just never bothered continuing it. I get being sweaty, fine, but being toxic about it is something else. Just not interested in it anymore. Been playing stuff like Baldurs Gate 3 perpetually now and it's great. Or the Hitman trilogy. Actually looking at my playstation almost all the games are singleplayer. Only multiplayer game recently is a co-op game, It Takes Two.

Ah, don't tell me that, it's one of the few games that I actually want to play. I might just stick with the older version instead.

Same. I used to play tournaments so I'm good but I don't go sweaty. So many people though feel compelled.

Doesn't Battlefront 2 have a co-op mode against bots though? Last time I played it was that mode and still fun as hell. Can't be sweaty if it's co-op.

Oh yes it can. People will compete over the kills and kill hog as much as they can. Some people will actively block you so you can't shoot while they're in a lightsaber hero. It's just exhausting.
