I guess I just don't get the tribalism here. Both are cool in different ways.

Singleplayer games offer a more curated experience. A story and a set of hand-crafted challenges. But that generally means finishing one and moving onto the next, rather than really sinking my teeth in it.

Multiplayer games offer a neverending challenge. There's always a better opponent. And I've made a lot of good friends through these communities.

Never been a multiplayer fan, reading the above its the same story as many other hobbies and recreations tho right?

offer a neverending challenge

....which requires continuous ongoing investment to overcome or even compete

There's always a better opponent

...who has more time or resource to put into getting better

And I've made a lot of good friends through these communities.

...because they attract similar minded people, but there's also toxic dickheads as well

I feel like the good bits and the bad hits of community are the community
