Games like Tarkov, ARMA mods (DayZ, breaking point, etc), and EVE are just not fun for casual players though.

It just isn't fun if I have an hour to play and I immediately die to someone who has played 18 hours/day for the entire lockdown and I permanently lose the item I worked several days to get.

I agree with you, Tarkov isn’t fun for a casual gamer. But my friends and I who still game are all vets and we appreciate the realism. Also, the difficulty of Tarkov is pretty uniform... you can be a noob and still get lucky and get a solid kill on a veteran player just as easily. Maybe it’s the chaos I appreciate so much because it echos the reality of war. Luck, and all of that.
There really needs to be a better way to level match people in online games.
