I prefer to play the old school way- in my living room, disconnected from the internet. I'd go back to Sega Genesis and old NES any day.

I'm single player, PVE only, for the past 5-6 years. It just removed a lot of shit I didn't want to deal with when the whole point of playing was supposed to be for fun. That decision was made a lot easier with the stupid levels of monetization and grind being rammed into everything.

I hear that. It's just a shame some consoles and carts are starting to need service due to their age, especially for handhelds, and retro gaming has gotten more and more unaffordable. Glad I picked up most of my collection when it was cheap.
