    Sure but the social aspect in games is often pretty toxic.

    I played quite a lot of Dota 2 and while communication and cooperation greatly improve your chances of winning… More often then not it was just someone raging hard over minor mistakes.

      Don’t know if I would have thought of Dota as a social game tbh. Maybe a more casual MMO?

      But what about keep talking and nobody explodes, overcooked or genital jousting?

        Deep Rock Galactic and especially Helldivers 2 gave me the most positive interactions with random strangers despite lack of dedicated social hubs or lobbies.

      Absolutely, just as you can wander into the wrong bar and end up in a fight.

      Competitive games will definitely bring out the worst in some people though, but there’s plenty of co-operative and role-play games that can lead to good lasting friendships.
