As someone who just has no interest whatsoever in competitive multiplayer games (even 'passive' competitive, like this sounds to be), or live service titles, I feel completely left behind by AAA developers. It's a good thing the indie scene is so vibrant, or I'd just have to find a new hobby at this point.
Exactly. It's also part of why I'm a patient gamer. If a game has a good single player experience, someone will still recommend it after the MP hype dies down. I'm here for story and gameplay, not competition and the meta.
My only concession here is TCGs, and I only play draft events. And even those are getting ruined by people developing the meta with pre-release info.
For real. I hardly ever pay attention to AAA stuff at this point. Indie gaming has been good eating for a while now and only seems to be getting better.
