because the ideal is to focus on the game and not the conversations, and you can be playing several tables at the same time.

Opinion

Yes, I have noticed this trend in online poker. I think the players' reluctance to communicate is due to the general anger of the people over the pandemic.

I do not agree. They talk and not only about poker. During tournaments, of course, less.

I never like chating during the game. I think it's annoying. Players like to play multitable so don't have time to chat with others.

one enters the poker rooms precisely to play, not to generally start conversations
or to be talking because I think that should deconcentrate, but if from time to time when I am playing I see that a conversation starts and there they start talking at length sometimes friendly and sometimes with insults and offenses and topics generally
That they deal with poker, I don't care I never chat but I don't criticize or question those who do it. I think that everyone does what they want.

I have also a problem with the size of the chat window. Another problem is the fact, that you can't always write and so you have to wait or being stopped while tipping. So sometimes I write the message in the search bar of my browser, when I really want to tell something, and copy & paste it in the chat.

Some players still Chat in Live games and on-line, the only difference is on-line you have to take your eye's off the action to type messages, if you are like me and are a two finger typist.
Not everyone is a short hand typist who can type 50 word's a minute, and also if someone shoves all-in before you hit the Enter key, your message disappears before you can send it. So you have to re-type it all out again. Bummer! :deal:

When the fun Stops, STOP!

sometimes when you have nice people at the table it is fun to chat but that rarely happens that you have nice people at the table with whom you can chat. But I am not a child of sadness because I myself stopped taking care of the chat a long time ago. I remember that it was fun to chat with the people at the table but also how some people behave so wrongly and insult people because they have lost. And sometimes not because they lost, but simply because they enjoy insulting people. It doesn't matter to me whether to chat or not, but if someone would like that so much then just have a look who is at his table and if there are nice people then you will definitely find someone when they have time to chat. Vorrausgestzt of course that is not just on multi-tabling or maybe outside of the game just chatting with others or or ...

I play on PokerStars PA and because it only has players who live in PA there seems to be some good chat going on. I never see people chatting on ACR
I noticed this too. I used to play on ACR and it was radio silence the whole time. I play on BetOnline now and there's a lot more chatter and trash talk. I have no idea why. Might just be the interface. Still its a far cry from the Full Tilt and poker stars days where you had to stand in line to make a comment. I do miss that.

most likely the player is playing several tables at the same time

I also think, that the most players do not chat anymore because of multi-tabling, language barriers or if they do not want to be distracted by any trolls, who are bothering at the tables.
Actually, I like to chat with the CC players, but sometimes I just can't do it, when I play too many tables, because I tile them on my screen and then the chat window becomes so small, so that it is hardly readable.

Yeah think multi-tabling as many have said makes it difficult. I try and chat in CC games if people are chatting but normally in 3 other games at the same time. But some sites do not even allow chat such as unibet.

Probably running multi table. Also the culture has changed I feel like in the past people interacted more via chat

Most players didn't due to multi-tabling along with watching poker streamer (being active in their chat).

I think the multi-table thing is a major factor, and also, specifically with ACR, the chat doesn't work a good part of the time, so I almost don't bother anymore, unless it's in a CardsChat game and even then, half the time, it doesn't work.

In open field games, I don't bother.

I can't speak for everyone but the reason that I don't chat while playing online is that I'm trying to watch the table and the players and I can't do that while I'm chatting. I have to concentrate on the game, if I'm playing in person then it's much easier to do both but not online.

I usually have my chats off along with alot of stuff so idk. I don't pay attention to it either but alot of players are in multiple games and that could be a reason too. I don't talk unless its trash talk to mess with players if they are complaining or crying bout something. Good luck.

This distracts from the game. And you need to focus on her. I think this is wrong. I would like to communicate sometimes.
