Looking at the most played list on steam is depressing battle royale shit, moba shit, Team Fortress 2 ( almost certainly filled with bots and fake player counts ). I sort of get GTA V because modded private servers but that must be a nightmare to deal with because of how cancerous rockstar studos are these days. I'm going to try and get myself into Terraria after a million years since I bought it because that's singleplayer and offline and doesn't run like shit.
I mean for fuck's sake, even though it's objective trash there are still people clearly downloading and playing Battlefield 2042 of all things. I would sooner watch paint dry than deal with any of this crap that the normies are playing and I can see why all of you retreat to the safe space that is classic gaming but even for me I feel like there's only so many times I can play a game over and over. The games that frequently make their way to the top of the charts are constantly reported on having major technical problems with them and it's mind boggling to me that people will make themselves play that.
We don't have to settle for this.
Are people supposed to be online on single player games forever just to change this list? Once the good story end most people leave satisfied. Others stick around to squeeze a lot more juice... but that time cannot compare to multiplayer games like mobas and battle royales. Great games a great not because they appear on a top 10 list but because people like what they offer.
I love to replay single player games because my memory is always fuzzy but not that many people do this. One time I bought Max Payne 1 for my friend because it was the game we used to play when we were in highschool. He told me he already beat it back then so "why bother playing it again"? :/
