Competitive multiplayer games are lazy because they rely on other players to be the content. And they are perpetually vexed when their customer/ labor don't perform their intended function.

    This is why I've always hated having to do pvp in a pve game for whatever reason (not often these days but mmos still sometimes) I'm bad at pvp and hate being content for other better players! I want to play a game, not be farmed for kills! Guh.

    I think that's a rather shallow way of looking at. Would you describe something like chess as 'lazy' then?

    A good competitive game has to put a lot of thought and care into its design to make it so that two players trying to make each other miserable actually ends up coming out the other end as a fun experience.

    Chess is lazy. When you could play a real game like go.

    But would @yesman@lemmy.world's statement also apply to go?
