Back when I wasted money on games, I bought shit like Garry’s Mod, PUBG, Rust, etc. because I knew some people who played it and thought we could play together.
It never happened.
So they’re collecting dust in my library and now I only play single player games
I got Deep Rock Galactic to play with friends but we only played once. I got it on sale though so it wasn't so bad. Far more aggregious ways to waste money.
