> Losing his characters is the best thing that's happening for him due to wasting a very significant part of his life in video games has some merit (but could be worded differently)

This community has a real tendency towards self-righteousness that is beginning to get on my nerves. You don't know anything about this person. Even if it's a truly unhealthy habit they have, that's none of our business.

Let's be honest, you probably came here already with an axe to grind.

If you calmly read what I wrote, I mentioned the argument as a secondary observation since the main topic is Google and other "-as-a-Service" companies making victims when they change course.

>You don't know anything about this person. Even if it's a truly unhealthy habit they have, that's none of our business.

I don't know how you even expect to milk some virtue out of that statement, but I'll just say: Having awareness, observing and talking about things is everyone's business since it's a liberty we ( still ) have.

Any self-righteousness, victim blaming, etc. are things you added to my comment or misunderstood.

It's out on a public forum, it doesn't have to be our business for us to comment on it. We also don't need to know anything about him in particular to know that's a crazy amount of time to spend. He doesn't magically have more than 24 hours a day.
