Gamers who prefer SinglePlayer games, Why?

1. Two reasons mainly.... a) Generally speaking there is more depth (in terms of story and narrative) in a single-player campaign. b) Generally speaking multiplayer gaming requires you to be "good" and to play "routinely", either to get "good enough" in the first place, and/or to properly ~~ferment~~ foment a social circle of other players that you can play with. I just haven't got the spare time to make that level of investment, certainly not routinely / consistently.

2. Because I hate people and don't want them in my game.

3. I just wanna do my own thing at my own pace. Maybe some local co op but that's if it exists.

4. - I suck at video games and I don't want other people getting pissed off at me for holding the team back because of that - My internet isn't great which can make it infuriating when I'm enjoying a game then it starts lagging or the physics engine starts going crazy or whatever because of a lull in the connection - Multiplayer games can die, then I can't play it any more which sucks for a game I really like - Having to rely on other people in the team sucks - It sucks when people disconnect then it's 3v4 or something - I don't really have friends to play with and grouping with randoms sucks - I love the experiences that come from single player games - Probably even more stuff than this

5. Because I don't enjoy having to socialize while I'm playing a game.

6. I'm an OCPD story geek. I play video games to relax, not to socialise. I like to play them in my own way, not the way I'm told I should. I like to cheat, save scum, tell my own stories within the game world. I like to be able to pause my games at any point to go and deal with the various crises that come with having small kids around. I have absolutely no interest in playing the way you tell me I'm supposed to. This is my hobby, my pastime, my escape from the drudgery of daily life. Why would I want to turn it into more drudgery??

7. Because video games are my time to relax and enjoy myself. I have plenty of friends in meatspace, I don't to discuss the finer points of having sex with someone's mom while gaming.
