    he just preferred the simpler times when we were all playing with stock blasters

    Coop came from a background where he was an integral part of an oldschool modding scene where the FPS COULD end up being as high as 250, and used glue or fishing weight Stefan darts which would definitely be felt on impact. He slowly moved away from that into limited internal mods/cosmetics and eventually became a reviewer of stock products.

    These stock products began changing, and I think that and the years of passionate energy for what his younger self enjoyed waned (along with the realities of getting older).

    He might come back at some point, but it makes sense to control the formation of a time capsule now (at a relatively high point) - remaining a tribute to a period in your life, rather than run on, emotionally desolate, into eventual irrelevance.
