    Yeah I get it. I actually originally was going to include a whole bit where I emphasised that I’m not saying my way is the right way and I think yours is completely genuine. I removed that part because I didn’t want to waffle on too much and hoped the sentiment would get across anyway.

    This is simply untrue. Players of older games often form the most highly-invested and passionate communities. That includes online games. My most-played game on Steam is a 2019 remake of a 1999 game with a strong casual and competitive multiplayer scene which has been very much alive, in different forms, continuously over that whole 24 year period.
