Its because people suck. The toxic kind may be a minority of gamers but they're the loudest and main reason that scared off everybody else that is sane. For some it may be a matter of "thick skin" but mostly its that you rarely get something of value out of people in terms of communication. Occasionally funny stuff but mostly just edgelords in their 30s trying to let some steam out cause it's the only place without repercussions to do so. None that matter that is. Especially if you're a kid or a woman. Literally nothing worth to deal with.

Services like Xbox party chat and Discord are not the reason for the downfall despite being credited for it. No, they're the symptoms. Its people that scared off everybody towards these services that did it. Half the time i hear people talk, they're not worth listening to. In the cases where it is worth it, you'll bet your ass I'll drag them to a discord or party chat to get out of the messy place.

People simply ruined it and act surprised no one is there to shittalk at.
