Yeah but when you game you are at least using the hardware, which means there is a real benefit for you to have that expensive hardware.
What I mean is a bit more like buying a toddler a Ferrari. Of course they like it — it is red (so it must be fast) — but they can't drive well enough to even leave the driveway.
I start to sound more bothered about this than I actually am, in fact it doesn't really bother me that much at all. It is just sad to observe how money is misused to stroke (most often male) egos and hurting the whole organisation through it.
What I’m saying is that there’s fanatics on everything, not just Apple. You were just exposed to Apple fanatics. There’s also Windows fanatics (not as common, but they exist). And, of course, there’s Linux fanatics.
There’s also fanatics in regards to hate. A big one we see here is Microsoft. Some here seem to think that the Microsoft of today is exactly the same one as the 90s. Never mind the fact that practically nobody from then is still there. But, “It’s their corporate DNA,” is something I’ve seen quite a bit here.
