also people will say stuff like this

“I have concluded multiplayer gaming isn’t for adults anymore because I got my ass kicked by some kids who clearly have the time to master the exhausting metas that are constantly being wrenched around to get everyone to spend money on skins for new OP guns added this season that will be nerfed next season.”

… and then refuse to try an indie multiplayer game like Easy Red 2, Angels Fall First or Operation Harsh Doorstop where people play competitively… but also are genuinely happy you joined the server to try the game as a noob and the idea of the game changing too fast for you to keep up with the meta must mean one of your favorite indie devs just had their dreams just come through and got a ton of funding out of nowhere.

I have plenty of indie games that I go and enjoy every now and then! The only real triple A games I play are GTA Online and the current CoD (thanks to game pass), and I don’t care about most of the modern gripes people have with CoD since most of them seem to be skill issues. Other than the aim assist.

Still, those indie games are miles ahead. I just enjoy 6v6 respawn multiplayer way too much to drop it.
