Reddit isnt dead yet, and it will be much harder for youtube to die. Kinda hard to make creators move when its their job, and without them moving, there is no chance of any progress occuring.
Right now, the best thing they can do is host their content on youtube AND other alternatives like Odyssey. This lets them make the same money they always had, but also gives people an option to watch it somewhere else. Unfortuately, your average youtuber is completely clueless about this option and so you mainly only see tech people doing it with only a few exceptions here and there.
I think the bigger problem is how commital those games are. They all want you to play 24/7 which makes it hard to enjoy other games.
I love competitive games, but I have too many other games I want to play. Im not gonna grind on one when I could of played like 30 games off my list.
Its definitely a mindset thing. In any game with any sort of competition, the majority of people seem to have this thought that "I must win". And if they dont, then they are having a bad time.
I notice this alot in smash specifically when I play with new players, they put all this emotion into matches with nothing on the line. Then beat themselves over every loss.
I even get questions like "Why you did this dumb thing?" which sometimes leads them to thinking im trolling. Like bro, im playing for fun.
Or if im not sweating 24/7, "Are you sandbagging?" Dude, we are playing friendlies, this is not a tourney that decides my future career, its not that serious.
Its like people forgot what casual gaming was.
Casual multiplayer games still exist, but are pretty rare these days. Stuff like left 4 dead, minecraft survival, and halo minigame maps are all very casual. I would think VR multiplayer games are probably casual too but I never got into it lol
If you hate any social interaction with randoms at all tho, then I would still avoid those probably.
I dont understand what makes them "somewhat unfair".
But I strongly agree we need more PvE stuff. I love competitive games, but they are so commital. More casual experiences would make it alot easier for me to try new games without too much commitment, and PvE sounds like it would fit in well.
People like games like those cuz of how rewarding it feels when you overcome it. With that said, its not for most people.
Its better than the reddit app already, but thats not a high bar to reach lmao
Compared to the third party apps tho, its still nowhere close. With that said, the recent update already improved so much so I have faith.
