It saddens me greatly as an oldman. My first PC (had an Apple as my first computer) was a Gateway in 1998 and I got HL1 when it came out. The mod and multiplayer community was great. I remember when CS added voicecom for the first time. It was basic insults but there were a lot of creative ones. I paid for multiple HL1 and HL2 mod servers but shit got worse and worse each year. Gave up in 2009-2010 (whenever TF2 went F2P).
Got nostalgic a few months ago and downloaded CSS. Joined a server and people were literally communicating with memes so I uninstalled.
I want to go back.

Ftfy senpai
People don't actually get fucking PTSD over online gaming. It's just one of those things that ended up getting sensationalized by clickbait sites that have nothing better to report about.
