Is there a game for which you're active in the online community despite not playing it? (lemmy.world)

I'm curious if this is a common thing. For me there are many such games. I hardly play games at all anymore, and when I do it's mostly singleplayer indie titles. Yet for some reason I can't stop myself from engaging with a lot of games I used to play.

CS:GO for example. I haven't played it for years and have no real intention of coming back, yet I still find myself watching youtube videos, following the patch notes and engaging in online discussions. And it's far from the only example for me.

Any weirdos out there that do the same?

Me and my friends played Destiny since 2014, but for the past two years, our play time has dropped to 0. It's just not a game we enjoy getting on everyday anymore. I hope it gets back to the game I loved playing one day, so I still keep up with all the news and updates. I also love the lore, so I'll watch lore videos or read the books.
