what about when you stumble across all the fun you had on a site like this (or any site for that matter) and then you look at how many people are active and it's barley reaching double digits when it used to be thriving. I find that depressing as shit.

For me games hurt, like Return to Castle Wolfenstein when the multiplayer wasn't dead was amazing. I recently booted it up again to find no servers online and none of my friends want to play because graphics or someshit. Man that's depressing. You can get a sense of how bad its gotten seeing as this was posted like a year ago.
