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.
I've been on both sides yeah. Like I was in a three stack for Dead By Daylight on disco, and I was on PC, my two friends on Xbox. Our fill was on PC. I was the only person who could communicate with the fill and I was apologetic like sorry my friends are playing selfishly, they're going for the three person escape and sandbagging the fill to get themselves out. It definitely creates a pretty antisocial divide
