Yeah I get it. I actually originally was going to include a whole bit where I emphasised that I’m not saying my way is the right way and I think yours is completely genuine. I removed that part because I didn’t want to waffle on too much and hoped the sentiment would get across anyway.
That said:
You also lose a lot on being not part of any current community
This is simply untrue. Players of older games often form the most highly-invested and passionate communities. That includes online games. My most-played game on Steam is a 2019 remake of a 1999 game with a strong casual and competitive multiplayer scene which has been very much alive, in different forms, continuously over that whole 24 year period.

When someone shares an opinion online, it’s like people think it’s supposed to be an argument to win and you are wrong, it’s annoying as shit. I get irritated seeing comments like your first one get downvoted lol.
