Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)

If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Online Multiplayer games does not make sense, unless you use it for chatting and not gaming. (lemy.lol)

I think that online multiplayer games does not need to exist as most games could be played offline with AI and with higher enjoyment also.

I think the reason a lot of people don't enjoy AI offline instead of multiplayer games is because as a capitalist society we associate multiplayer games with higher joy, due to the huge amount of ads and streamers targeting teenagers to show them how much fun they are missing by not playing in online multiplayer games. I had met a variety of people with different ages and a lot of the older generations prefer offline games and consider it the norm.

You rate AI way higher than you should. Bits designed to play games have been a thing forever, but they just suck. No matter how fancy they still follow patterns and eventually become predictable.

That's not to say it wouldn't be good to have the option, but it's just not the same.

I generally prefer single player games anyway coz I can't keep up with people who spend all their time online though.
