And that's totally fine. I wish people would show more empathy, on why I don't enjoy it the same way as you do. You also lose a lot on being not part of any current community. Patient gamer is a valid way, unless you play online games or care about the points I mentioned above.

When someone shares an opinion online, it's like people think it's supposed to be an argument to win and you are wrong, it's annoying as shit. I get irritated seeing comments like your first one get downvoted lol.

Yeah I get it. I actually originally was going to include a whole bit where I emphasised that I'm not saying my way is the right way and I think yours is completely genuine. I removed that part because I didn't want to waffle on too much and hoped the sentiment would get across anyway.

That said:

This is simply untrue. Players of older games often form the most highly-invested and passionate communities. That includes online games. My most-played game on Steam is a 2019 remake of a 1999 game with a strong casual and competitive multiplayer scene which has been very much alive, in different forms, continuously over that whole 24 year period.
