I’m in my early 40s. Back then, I used to play Quake 3, UT 99 and Tribes 2 competitively. Not anymore. Life is stressful enough, and I don’t want to add to that by playing competitively. I want to relax by playing story-based games. I also play a lot of games on easy mode so that I can truly enjoy the story.
About the same, but I would love to go to a lan party every now and then and actually game. I stopped going when people were more interested in sharing their puddle deep political takes then gaming and that was before gamergate. I can only imagine how bad it would be now.
People were more relaxed a lan parties and open server browser games. Rank tracking and matchmaking made everyone a sweaty gamer.

Exact same. I can pause when needed and handle priorities. Fuck MP games that drive up my blood pressure. The only MP games now are co-op, like L4D2
