less fun and rewarding.

As I’ve gotten older I’ve really come to appreciate getting lost in a great single player game with a great story, world, and gameplay. When I don’t want to jump on discord with my friends because I’m so sucked into a game is when gaming is at its best for me. It really feels like consuming art at that point instead of just running matches over and over online. Currently replaying the Mass Effect trilogy for the first time in over a decade and have been completely immersed in its world and lore. Games like that actually allow me to relax and escape for a few hours to another world full of interesting things to discover

Imo ever since the covid-19 everything went downhill, not just the games, but life overall. Good video tho

Something I've noticed as I've gotten older (currently 24) is that multiplayer games with leaderboards, ranks, and all the bells and whistles are just unappealing to me. Now the only games I really enjoy are single player games, co-op games, or if they are "competitive" multiplayer games, they're games that's more about the adventure and experience rather than trying to earn a score or rank. Escape From Tarkov and Hell Let Loose are the best examples I can choose from. The adrenaline from getting into a gun fight and winning, to being sad that you got face tapped and lose all your loot, or get revenge for your friend from his killer are the factors that wanna keep me playing. And Hell Let Loose is great because it's a game about team work and working together towards a greater goal instead of running around and patting your stats.
And if you want advice from a long time gamer who also almost quit gaming because of multiplayer games, stop playing them by yourself. I very rarely play multiplayer games by myself anymore. And when I do, it's because it's a game I enjoy way too much. Game with your friends, and if they don't play those games/don't have any friends, then either find people who also enjoy those games, try to get them to game with you or just play what they play. Games are supposed to be ways for you to enjoy your time with your friends as if you're sitting around a campfire with them. Or to enjoy a new experience that you've never had before.

Because they are shells created to generate recurring revenue. They aren't made to be fun any more.
If they are fun, people cry in forums until the fun is patched out. "Balance" and "Competitive" have ruined games.

Skill based matchmaking destroyed casual gaming

my 2 cents as a 35 year old gamer (im practically a fossil compared to some of the people in the comments), the biggest reason why multiplayer doesnt feel the same is that everything is designed as an Esport from the get go, which severally limits creativity and experimentality in game design.
This coupled with the fact that there is no community at all in MP games, no more server browsers, its just 9 or 99 randos dropped into a lobby for 15 -20 minutes, and then into the next one, and in between these games you certainly are gonna be dumped to the Store screen instead of a game summary, or a stats page.
It's all so clearly a ploy to get you, the player to pull out your credit card more and more. I genuinely feel sad for people too young, or those who know nothing other than the Fortnitifiaction Multiplayer games.

Multiplayer games have become less about friends playing at your home or you playing at friends’ homes and more about being forced to play with ill-tempered tryhards who don’t have your interests in mind.

I have had the same feeling just like you. Turning 25 last year I just felt like gaming wasn't really scratching that itch anymore, having been quite addicted to league of legends fot the last 6 years. I uninstalled the game and procedes to play all the other singleplayer games I played before and started enjoying gaming again. A thing I noticed about singleplayer games is that they are more forgiving when you don't constantly play, because every time I booted up a game of bf4 I got totally destroyed and didn't want to spend the time relearning everything again. So I'm still just playing singleplayer games. Anyway, good video!

The push for esports played a big part imo. I'm a bit older but remember how the Starcraft 2 scene developed. Initially, the game was huge, probably the biggest RTS release ever, and tons of people, bad, medium, experts and pros played online and had fun. The noobs got better and beat other noobs, earning that satisfaction of becoming better and winning. A constant stream of new players, or noobs, kept the echosystem healthy and the game thrive. Eventually though, the esport scene got bigger and bigger, and the push towards ultimate competition lead to all the noobs either quit or entered tryhard mode to become as good as possible. Eventually the entire echosystem collapsed and only the hardcore pros were left playing the game, and it happened vary rapidly.
I bring this up because it is a very good example of how pretty much every online game evolves over time. How fast it occurs varies, but it is pretty much inevitable. Obviously people leave the game for other reasons, but the push towards ultra competition just makes this process much faster because it takes the fun out of the game.
I found though that it's not necessarily about getting older, though that makes it harder to enjoy games. But I think it is this push for esports and competition as well as the lack of variety in the genres that is a big reason. Most people just play fps games, obviously the become boring after a while. I always enjoyed RTS games the most, but I like to play other genres as well.
I recently went back to my favorite online game ever, Battle for Middle Earth 2, and its amazing. People still play the game 15 years after it's release, and it has the feeling old games had. It is competitive if you want, very skilled players, but there is also many that just like to chill and play or do custom maps for fun. There is no ladder or ranking system to grind or show how good you are, just for fun and that is a big reason why it's such a good time. Also, the game itself is amazing, we don't get epic games like that anymore and I bet most of the new generation have never even heard of that game which is just sad imo.

Maybe it’s just the fact that we’re all older now and have more responsibilities but online gaming now feels more like a part time job than just playing a video game. The shift in business model has made most online games too damn grindy and exploitative. I know I sound more like “old man yells at cloud”.. but games were far better when they were simple.

This video resonated on a personal level with me... it's comforting in a sad, depressing way to know how many others have become jaded and jilted by gaming as a whole, the very thing that brought me comfort during the darkest periods of my life.

The main problem with multiplayer gaming these days is its become a second job. People have lives outside of video games. People have jobs, IRL friends, families to take care of. Focusing on grinding some video game takes so much out of your life these days. Devs intentionally make timegated tedious grinds in order to encourge people to pay microtransactions to progress faster. Multiplayer games like deep rock galactic where you just simply join and chill with friends are a rare site now. And imo pay to progress faster is paying to win since you do get a time advantage over other players. In terms of competitive games content creators populating the META is what ruined those which cause many communities to become hostile towards new players.

I'd just rather sit down and enjoy a story or new world in the time I set aside for games rather than playing a grindy shooter that feels meaningless 🤷♂️

For me the biggest problem is what I will call "Participation Ribbon" ideology.
Not everyone should be able to unlock everything. Higher skill players should be able to unlock things lower skilled players cannot. Just because you "participate" does not mean you earned the same rewards.
On top of that, less and less is earned through permanent difficult static challenges. (Best example of how to properly have a good difficult static challenge is Halo 3 Recon armor).
Now unlocks all seem to come from time grinds/just paying money to unlock it. Challenges are rarely ever skill based. Usually everyone is able to do them if they spend enough time. This is where the Participation Ribbon ideology has ruined any incentive to actually get better. Sure getting better might make the grind a bit faster but if you all end up with the same reward it feels like you are not being rewarded for getting better.
All this along with SBMM in casual modes makes games feel like they don't respect your time and don't reward you for actually getting better.

Playing a video game alone is how I know if I really like the game. Friends distract me personally from the issues I have with some games. So I always play games single player then invite friends, once I determine that game is up to par. Generally, times have been bad for multiplayer games in recent years.

didn't expect this video to be so relatable. used to be obsessed with multiplayer pc games
when i was younger since i had friends to play with and i didn't take the game as
seriously.
now that i'm much older, i found my self mostly moving away from multiplayer games
and i've been playing through my switch games which has personally made gaming alot more
fun since there's no stress and no worries about having to play with randoms if you aren't at
the top of your game.

For me, I have rarely enjoyed online multiplayer games mostly due to their community. Sure, competitiveness is part of it but the anger you find in these games is at another level. It is not new, and imo the problem is the same as what we find on social media: people have the feeling they can do everything (and in a way they unfortunately can). That alone ruined it for me. What I truly missed is the era of coop games, you are not "online" but can play and have a good experience with your friends.

I´ve always played singleplayer games only, I just didn´t find the thought of playing something without a story to unveil very amusing, but I think I should´ve tried more to understand why everyone likes it. The fun of discovering a new world with its own lore is just much more exciting to me.

1. The games are more grindy, designed to consume time. Not be fun. 2. I'm no longer in high school and my friend group doesn't game with me anymore. 3. The older I'm getting, the more multiplayer just feels like a waste of time unless I'm playing with specific people.
