I believe that is called having friends. Not clones of yourself. I’ve made plenty of friends online that we just played a game together and when we were done with the game we never talked to each other again. Played with some friends raiding in wow for years and at the end we were just done. It’s the cycle of gaming friends.

And my irl friends don’t always play the same games but they are not “friends” they are friends. We have different ideas of what types of games are fun.
