~~I have played It Takes two.~~ ~~It did not require my friend to buy the game when we wanted to play together.~~ ~~Further, the game was like 5$~~
Edit: I missed the joke.
They are just joking about not having friends but the "in the manner it was originally intended" is particularly relevant for dedicated co-op titles.
Oh dayum. Totally went over my head. Haha. Poor guy is getting down voted for no reason. 🥲
Given the "people online, especially gamers, are antisocial losers with no friends!" stereotype, the very real issue of how difficult it is for adults to make new friends in some parts of the world, and that online there is no tone of voice or body language, I can definitely see how it is being read as a genuine complaint. Plus you can always find people with wildly differing perspectives online, which tends to completely deaden the "nobody would ever believe/say this, definitely a joke" reaction.
