Long gone are the days of 360 online feeling alive, nobody chats or trolls anymore…

Is the cancel culture/PC soft culture that killed it, or just Gen Z/alpha don’t talk (react) that much anymore?

    For me it wasn’t consoles, never played online when I bothered with consoles.

    For me it was world of Warcraft. Once they started hand holding for the simple players, it just killed online communities for me. There was no point in a guild other then some XP buffs. No one talked or communicated l, online gaming just because kidna…dead.

    Stopped playing any ‘community’ based game after that and only ever hosted my own games for my core friends.

    Games are nowadays designed around multiplayer, but it feels like they don’t want us to communicate/form communities /groups/guilds etc…and instead just buy stuff and play game to get to the next pay wall.

        It used to be fun, going on adventures with your friends/guild, but Blizzard kept changing things over time to decrease player agency and to keep grinding. It became less about having fun and more about keeping people logging in.
