When I'm playing a game like CF, there are two aspects - the in game experience, and the social aspect. Things like being able to engage with other players, theory craft, discuss mechanics, or just shoot the breeze is certainly a part of the overall game experience. Other games like Path of Exile, Guildwars2, Forza, Rocksmith (okay, only sort of a game) that I play, I can find and engage with a huge active community of mature adults over at gwj, folks that I meet up with at PaxEast every year, play board games with, and other social events. The forum community (which for me is the only group of CF players I have access to) seems to have moved in a direction such that I no longer really feel a part of it nor do I have much desire to be participate in it. I think that in some part, that has contributed to my playing less often.
