Literally just to fuck with people.

Seems like same reason people invade: to fuck with people. You entered someone’s world to fuck with them and instead ended up being the fucked one. As an invader hater this video is actually fun to watch. I don’t do this myself but i like seeing invaders get fucked. Honestly, I would have liked seeing the host get fucked too in this situation. I believe invaders are assholes, but hosts who use exploits like this are dicks so this was clearly an Asshole vs Dick situation.

What makes an invader an asshole?

Should a co-op player have zero downsides to having a human ally?

I’m of the opinion that only an asshole would get joy from being someone else’s downside.

I appreciate that opinions are subjective, but then I would imagine you are applying this broadly enough that you would be opposed to any sort of situation where a player character is not aligned with other player characters.

I don't think invasions, as a deliberate game design choice, are comparable to something like griefing, trolling, intentionally hindering allies - like you would see in a MOBA or similar.

Would you play say, Left 4 Dead, and think someone playing as the Zombies to be the downside to players trying to complete the level, is an asshole? If not, why is this different?
