I think I'd like to play this game if it were also single player. I don't care for multiplayer games. :-/

You could also put your big boy pants on and experience the series for yourself and then formulate your own opinions on it like an adult. Stop asking people why a blatantly iconic series is beloved.

I experienced something similar. We used to get loads of kids, like to the point where we should just pull a chair next to the door and wait, but since they built some fancy houses a few blocks away it's dwindled to where we can actually leave the door for a minute or two.

I used to be like that, but then my subdivision developed and there's a very long street filled with very high value houses, so every parent in town now drives their kids up and down that street once and call it quits. The funny thing is people think the 'rich' people on that street are more prone to give higher value…
