    Unpopular opinion but games with community-driven multiplier (i.e. people hosting their own servers) is infinitely better than matchmaking multiplayer running on the dev/publisher’s servers if only for the sole reason that players have a choice of what kinds of communities they want to build and what things other players should be allowed to do instead of being forced into a sterilized commercial monoculture. I should be able to say “KYS KYS” in game if the people I’m playing with are okay with it.

      That and it’s easier to make genuine connections with regulars. Nowadays for that you have to go out of your way to join a community discord or similar because nearly all multiplayer games are built to play with your existing friends.
