Nobody asked to have some pointless story injected into their online shooters. I'm pretty sure the people that want world-building and narrative and lore in their games aren't playing online shooters. I know I'm not.

Ok, well, I am. It's not "pointless story" it's entertainment and I'm struggling to come up with a game that has zero plot or setting or characterization. Rocket League maybe.
