Never been a multiplayer fan, reading the above its the same story as many other hobbies and recreations tho right?

offer a neverending challenge

…which requires continuous ongoing investment to overcome or even compete

There’s always a better opponent

…who has more time or resource to put into getting better

And I’ve made a lot of good friends through these communities.

…because they attract similar minded people, but there’s also toxic dickheads as well

I feel like the good bits and the bad hits of community are the community
