As usual the gaming crowd is utterly lacking in self-awareness.

"Hey, those crypto guys need to stop doing dumb things with GPUs so me and my friends can use that fancy hardware to waste hours of our lives pretending to be soldiers and race-car drivers on our computers in the basement"

Say what you will about the crypto crowd, at least they know people think they're ridiculous.
