It’s not that they’re ever crappy games, but for some reason some people see them that way because they think the only reason people play the game or have fun playing it is due to the friends they play it with and that’s it. It’s a bit of a reductive genre description in my opinion because I’ve yet to see that be the case. The poster children of “friendslop”; PEAK and REPO, both have good solo speed running communities for example.
