Most of my gamer friends, game with real people. Not sure if there are statistics on this or not.

For what it's worth this is a correlation study and not causal. I'm sure there are some loners out there that are very happy, but when I've had turbulent times in my life, it was my friends who helped me.

Well if there’s a guy who’s sitting alone in his room all day playing games on his own how would you get to know him?

True but my nephew is a gamer and has his online crew as well. So there's a guy who I know to random genetics.

Here's this survey as well: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1235068/online-gaming-so...
