See for me, I know all too well that I'm getting too old for PVP, because back in my day, ppl weren't bunny hopping, zig-zag strafing and doing such janky looking movements around you, just to get a kill, and it's why I believe that "gentlemen's rules" in gaming died around 2 decades ago, because now it seems to be hard coded with "I do whatever it takes to win" (cheating/hacking, abusing glitches, abusing meta, enforcing meta over other players, abusing lag, causing lag).

How far back are we talking? Cuz that stuff is basically as old as competitive online shooters themselves.

Personally I moved away from online PvP when I realized I was only having fun when I was dominating the field and I could play for hours and still leave the game pissed off. Maybe it's different in the live service era but 'back in my day' it was also kind of a repetitive waste of time where you never really accomplished or experienced anything new; a thousand hours in SP games could take you on all kinds of varied adventures and make you richer for the experience. A thousand hours in a conventional competitive shooter or fighting game just gits you gudder at shooting or beating people up (virtually).
