    Words change.

    MMO just means large player groups sans lobbies. Can be any type of game.

    What’s with the gate keeping?

    Who calls doom an MMO? It’s not massively online. It’s online and small groups.

        You’re the entire problem with the interactions people have with Lemmy.

        MMO is its own distinct term, it modifies any genre it is applied to, it has never just meant a different type of RPG, it just started that way and people want to gatekeep for whatever reason.
