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.

MMOs especially do not feel like they did back in the day. I remember getting into so many stupid hijinks just goofing with people in town and stuff. Nobody wants to interact in games anymore. We need more online games with just the goal of being goofy with strangers online.

Half the reason people played Ultima Online back in the way back was to just hang out near the bank and talk to people
