Has gaming gotten less social?

I remember playing games like Halo, COD and other online games. There would always be people in game chat and you’d talk crap, make friends etc.

These days when playing multiplayer games, lobbies are dead quiet. Add to the fact that with things like SBMM lobbies pretty much always disbanded after every match so there’s less opportunity for online games to be social.

Though when I started to notice this, it was around the time that I moved over to PC from console. So does anyone else think games have gotten less social? Or is it possibly the difference in platform? As in could it be that most people on PC are just using discord and don’t use the in game chat?

Honestly not even sure where I’m going with this. It’s just something I feel like I’ve been noticing for a while and thought if it’s just me or if others feel the same.
