I'm gonna say yes, different people, just based on my own play habits. I've played and enjoyed most of the big single-player franchises, but the multiplayer games don't appeal to me much. I gave Overwatch a try because a bunch of my coworkers were raving about it, but the experience just felt shallow and hollow. They might be great if I was playing with friends in the same room (like back when I was in college), but playing with a bunch of strangers is no fun for me.
I mean I stay away from the mtx games as well. But then I was raised in an age where you paid the price on the box and that was it.
New gamers don't know better. And kids especially have all the time and hardly any of the money, they're happy to throw $10 pocket money at a "free" game they already enjoy for an outfit now, rather than save $70 for a new game they might not like in a few months.
