I hate battle royale games. Every time I play them i get anxious and nervous, I cant take it anymore

I have played Apex Legends since it came out and I have about 900h between both steam and origin (mostly played during covid).

Since I stopped playing this rage games I feel much better

You have a point about less content development time. But don't underestimate the complexity of getting the netcode right and balancing the PVP system.

It's more like trading one set of problems for another, than it is a cop-out.

Plenty of games that lack substance in any category.

I did want to mention that, but left it out to keep my comment short. Yes, game development is very difficult and complex. Getting anything working out there is a huge accomplishment for everyone involved.

I have a feeling many companies found that the ratio of work (and thus investment) involved compared to the potential profit generated, especially with predatory MTX added to everything nowadays, means it's pretty much a no-brainer to them to create PvP games rather than co-op ones.

Creating interesting gameplay systems and keeping things fresh for players is (I'd say) undoubtedly more difficult than just plotting players against one another. On top of that, netcode and balancing aren't non-existent in co-op games.

Just take a look at the cancelled Blizzard MMO project "Titan", which was partially repurposed to become Overwatch.
