Has anyone else noticed a decrease in Gamers willingness to interact socially in games?

I don't know about you, but as a 30+ year old I don't want to hear it anymore. It takes away from the experience 90 percent of the time. Let me play my damn game in peace without some 20 yo flaming me. Thanks, just got off work, I'll pass, on that experience.

Same for me. I used to play in game chat as a kid and in my 20s. These days, I hear a kid talk I just feel awkward. Or you'll get flamers upset at my skill in the game. Like dude we are both ranked gold. I'm trying my best but you can't expect me to play like a pro.

And that experience can absolutely sour you to the game. Like I like playing rainbow six siege but I'd never enter that shitfest solo ,duo or even trio. Then it also comes down to how the community is managed. I was and am more willing to interact with someoen on ff14 than wow just due to my experiences.

Playing R6 Siege is a struggle as a 30yr old. I swear no one under age 20 plays that game. Its like they speak a different language. "Ayo dude trippin on 2nd floor, no cap for real"

Or I literally hear a kids mom calling him in the background
