The difference is semantic really. Doesn't really change the context of the term.

This and AoE. When did AoE become a thing? Back in the Diablo 2 days we just called it multi when attacking more than 1 thing lmao.

because Player vs Enemy makes sense if someone doesn't tell you what it really means. I didn't know until just now

They should've just called it PvN. Player vs NPC because that's what it really is.

But I guess PvN sounds silly.

Because in GTA I don't fight the environment, I fight the NPC enemies or the players.

Why the hell would it be "enemy"? Another player would be considered an enemy and the distinction would be useless...

You're missing the point. It's an ancient acronym that everyone gamer should know by now.

I imagine most gamers don't play MMOs thus wouldn't care to know all the various terms associated with them.

Because at least in my experience, an "enemy" is the name for the computer-controlled minions like Goombas. Player-controlled enemies are "opponents".

Almost every multiplayer game refers to opposing players as enemies

I've only hear "enemy" refer to the bad guys in videogames, not player controlled opponents

I mean "Japanese" in "JRPG" a useless distinction too, but everyone uses that as well.

It most certainly isn't.

It lets you know to avoid an RPG.
