I was a poor farm kid and winters were long.

I was still playing our Atari 2600 when the PS2 launched.

yes, because the real problem is too much choice.

fuckin finbro bullshit.

I remember paying $10 for an Atari game. I know it’s not a great comparison, but I got hundreds if not thousands of hours of gameplay out of Qbert. Can any of the leading games in the last decade do that?

It’s funny I mention Atari. They had so many games to play. the choices you had were bonkers. best part was you could take your carts to a friends house and trade or share.

can’t do that today since most games are digital downloads that need 32gb day-0 updates.

perhaps the problem isn’t the gamers, but instead it’s the greedy corporate interests that are poisoning the game industry requesting $80 single owner games.

I mean, he’s not wrong. it is something within their power to control, and only they can stop the cycle.

addiction is a hell of a drug though.

companies that prey on the vulnerabilities of humans like that should be regulated no different than drug, alcohol, or firearm companies.
