I hate how modern multiplayer games are more oriented towards pre-existing friends than being able to make new friends

[cirno369]

Back in older games, you most likely didn't haave any friends to play it. Hell, I never had any irl friends either.. this was the beauty of it though, you could chat with a couple of people in the game, and become friends with them, because they didn't have friends either. Games were somewhat pro-incel back then, pandering to people like us and helping people like us. Nowadays, games are more popular than ever, yet they feel more lonely than ever. Even games who's sole existence was to make friends are overtaken by normies and women who just want to do degenerate things. Then regular multiplayer games are marketed towards people who already have a friend group. There's no more promotions to try to make new friends. Instead, the opposite. "Refer a friend, you get something!" "Play with friends, you get a friend boost." I DON'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS WITH, AND YOU DON'T MAKE IT ANY EASIER TO MAKE SOME. I HAVEN'T HAD A VIDEO GAME FRIEND SINCE MAYBE SEVEN YEARS AGO, BECAUSE ALL THEY DO NOW IS PANDER TO PEOPLE WITH PRE-EXISTING FRIENDS.

Yeah, I've noticed that too.

 

[Tšuudi]

I agree

 

[God's Lonely Man]

Modern multiplayer games are produced for normies to play. That's why there is so much gay shit in them.

Making new friends from game really do help in socialization though

 

[GrAYnigger]

They force you to go on Discord servers to look for fellow players but Discord is filled faggots and troons

[_meh]

They already try to filter everything.

Gatekeeping is everywhere.

Spitting straight facts, my friend

If you solo-queue on team-based games especially as a newbie, you’re a masochist.

or you're just better

 

[Diddy]

Sure but someone new to the game isn’t to be better than others with thousands of hours.

 

[fatass30000]

it’s not a game problem, gaming culture has just changed and most people aren’t willing to make friends with randoms they played with.

 

[Squatting Slavcel]

just tell them "gj" if they carry then add them after the game, 50/50 they accept

 

[SSuzumiya]

Yeah that's true and plus most online players are their own party chats or discord groups so now you rarely ever hear other players talking in lobbies.

 

[Lo3e]

same

Yeah, (IMO) Discord/R*ddit ruined the beauty of befriending randos online. I tried to play Halo: MCC multiplayer a few years ago and it wasn't the same as Halo 3 online at its peak. I guarantee all those dick-waving cunts that take MCC seriously have Discord servers that are averse to outsiders/newbies

 

[Adrift]

TF2 community servers and mmos in early 2010s were like that for me. People actually socialized through ingame chats back then and you’d get recognized for simply being active in game. Those days are long gone now.

 

[Dr. Butane]

I only have 4 active steam friends and they're all brocels.

 

[Hoppipolla]

Yah this is one of the main reasons I play Roblox!

I can actually communicate with other people.

 

[AloneCel2]

Ive never made a single friend from gaming regardless, I dont find it any easier than real life

Roblox has me chat banned and I have to show my id or something to be able to talk with

I did the face scan :o

I mean, I use the same username on Roblox as on Facebook so they could see my face and scan it any time they want anyway lol
