We just wanted to play video games.

[Providence 777]

We just wanted to be left alone and to play video games, but you had to come for our hobby, you had to wreck it, and censor it, and censor us for noticing.

Well congratulations, this is your prize, you did this to yourselves. If you had just ignored us, and left us and our hobbies alone, you wouldn't have had to worry about who we vote for.

After watching all my hobbies become hollow skin suits of what they once were, saturated with topical ham-fisted modern day political content, I resigned myself to learning everything about what you believe and will remain permanently active in politics until every policy that even resembles your way of thinking, is completely abolished.

This isn't even simply about the games or geek culture anymore at this point, this is about being as spiteful as possible to those who tried to prescriptively force feed their politics into my favorite media.

Conscious choice not to understand seems to be your motif here, like how you gaslit earlier.

No. I just don't see the point in arguing about something that has no possible conflict resolution. Like everyone else, I simply chose to inject humor into it instead. You're the one being triggered and getting bent out of shape, as if someone's forcing you to play these games.

I waited years for many of these games, only to see them release completely butchered.

I haven't bought a western game in so long, all my favorite franchises are unrecognizable.
I'm here with money, waiting to spend on my favorite IPs, and they can't produce anything worth buying.

Korea and China have no problem getting my money, they understand the assignment, make something fun that people want to play.

2024 Trump election is the conflict resolution, destroy the political establishment that's responsible for this cultural trend.

It's not the political but corporate establishment that is responsible. And the corporate establishment is buttering every president's bread, so they are not going to do anything except promise and fail to deliver.

Politics is bit more complex than a video game.

But truth be told, Donald Trump is the only one who has actually blamed video games for mass shootings (after GTA player committed one) and made inquiries whether he has the needed authority to impose restrictions on video games to "reduce violence".

Gamers must have a short memory. 🙂
Not that average voters have it much longer either.

Censorship is wrong, and you trying to censor video games is wrong.

Gamergate was one of the biggest political missteps in American History.
Gamers are unsung heroes.

Complete hogwash. The mainstream gaming scene is a very SMALL part of the whole landscape.

Wise decision. Doing so would put them in a bind of what "gamers" apparently stand for.
