Couldn’t agree more.
I just plain hide pvp-tagged games these days from steam/gmg/gog. Ive gone real hard on that stuff in the past and i just think i dont really have the same kind of happy fun i do compared to pve stuff.
Same boat. But also feel like as an adult with limited time I don’t want to deal with others negativity. Nor do I in certain games have time to check in on my stuff regularly.

This is a huge part of it. When I was younger with no responsibilities and could tailor my schedule around a game, I enjoyed this stuff. Now? I don’t want to have to think about whatever game when I’m not actively playing it, and if I don’t play for a few days, I want to be able to return and find things as I left them. That philosophy is antithetical to many modern PvP games’ design philosophies, where they want you to be constantly thinking about it and emotionally invested in it.
As someone who doesn’t enjoy PvP, but who did really enjoy the Thief games, this makes it infinitely more interesting, not less.
Have you played The Dark Mod?
No! Wasn’t aware of it, but now that I am, I’m downloading it! Thanks for the heads up!

Chess is PvP. Negativity is not a necessary part of competitive gaming.
I mean if chess is so good why is there no chess 2?
Bad example.
Yeah, this mirrors my feelings exactly. Coop is great, though; happy to see that included.
