Tekken boss shifts responsibility for the game being less popular with younger players to younger players.
I prefer to not play team games because I don’t want someone else to be the reason I lose.

He has the right idea, but the wrong reasons. Among my friends there is a pretty clear pecking order in our fighting game skills, generally with 1v1s producing the same results. When we play team games like smash, we can cheer for each other and find some success to celebrate collectively. Instead of everyone feeling bad that Dave destroyed us again. Fuck you, Dave.
That was the same for my friends group at LAN parties in the 1990s with shooters back then.
And if you all play fighting games the same amount everyone gets better so Dave still kicks everyones ass. Fuck sake Dave!
Feels good that I am not the only one who has this issue.
Sounds about right
Conflating correlation with causation, I think.
Does that mean me and my midlife crisis aged friends are actually younger players?
Yay!
(We alternate play between Tekken 8 and Helldivers 2, but have been playing more of the latter this week)
