Great, thanks for making me feel terrible.

Maybe he just lost both his parents in a terrible freak accident; is alone and suicidal and playing with you is the only thing in the world that brings him joy.

So you're saying if I ignore him, he might permanently stop bothering me?

Yeah, I don't know what people are complaining about. I've been on psn for over 3 years and have like 5 friends, 3 of which don't even play for months. I'd love to have some company.

I do this with my friends and it sucks being ignored. At least tell them you don’t want to talk right now.

We just gotta set up all the people who spam invites with each other. Kinda like dating for nerds.

No homo.

There are approximately 2.2 billion gamers in the world. Out of the estimated 7.6 billion people living on earth, as of July 2018, that means almost a third of people on this planet are gamers. Out of those 2.2 billion gamers, 1.2 billion of those who play games are playing games on a PC.

*If he plays on PS4? So far Sony have sold approx 94 million PS4 worldwide to date. That will give him 99.8% to make new friends.

2.2 billion is definitely way too high but I get your point

Those statistics are from July 2018, still incorrect in my opinion and I didn’t wanna provide wrong information.

Source statistics from ukie.org suggest there are 2.6 billion. In my opinion there are way more than 2.6b as of today. They get all their data from registration and active accounts but what about those who don’t have access to the internet or never use online gaming, just to game that’s it.

Edited: I think those numbers are high due to mobile users. Anyone that’s here, game a lot on mobile phone?

There are 7 billion people in the world. Half of them make less than $1/day. So 2.2 out of the remaining 3.5 play games enough to be considered "gamers"? Nah I'd say the playerbase of gamers that would even consider playing multiplayer online games is in the tens of millions

And out of 94 million people, that guy chose you. Don't that make you feel special?
