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?

EVE online! Following along with the space drama and shit posting on ~~reddit~~ Lemmy(?) is like 3/4 of actually playing the game itself so you can really get the feels without the embarrassment of having everyone laugh at you lossmail when you inevitably get dunked upon.
