I need those teens because my friends are all bad at FPS games and it's less fun playing down to their level. I find the challenge satisfying in a way that silly fun just isn't.
There are difficulty levels in single player games. Besides, if you're good and enjoy the competition, just play ranked if you want to go against similar skill as the designers intended.
I generally do, my point is that your statement "when they stopped being about fun" is subjective and judgmental. You don't have to like tryhard online competitive gaming but flatly disparaging it is kinda shitty.
Yes, it's judgemental because of what it has done to the gaming industry. Games used to have both online competative and a banging actual game. There are fools in the industry that think single player games are dead.
