This piece is a part of Optimism Week on Eurogamer - a week of features either about optimism itself or those which hope to inspire it.

The short version

• For more articles like this, you can visit our Optimism Week hub .
• I don't think it's much of a secret to say gaming, as a primary hobby, can be incredibly isolating.
• The older I have become, the more I have come to realise that games are best experienced with other people.

What happened

Not just through Discord, or some in-game guild, but out in the real world. I can speak to this from experience.

Why it matters

I have locked myself in a room during the launch of a World of Warcraft expansion.
