Are You a Social Gamer?

Are you a Social Gamer (local coop, multiplayer, etc.)?​

I have never been very big on online-multiplayer, largely because once it became readily fun and playable enough to catch my interest, I lived out in the country and my internet connection became capped (it was awful, we'd have to wait until after midnight to watch Netflix, etc., - that was the "free" period). Nowadays, as an adult with my own place (and Spectrum internet), I've never gotten into the habit.

I do, however, spend nearly all of my videogame playing time with my wife nowadays though.

I've done a few online multiplayer games, but almost never choose them myself. Most of the time I play a multiplayer I play with Nick on the couch. I grew up playing couch co op with my dad and older sister. It just feels more fun and engaging for me. When I do play online, it is almost always a game chosen by a friend.
I did get into Don't Starve Together for a bit, but I'm not really social enough for strangers.

The exception to the rule for me was mmos. I loved playing those as long as I had at least 1 family member with me. I haven't played any since I moved out though.

I do sometimes. It isn't something I actively seek out myself, but if a friend hollers at me, I'll plug in and play something with them a little bit. For example, I played that Multiversus game a few months back and I played Apex Legends a few times.
