mainstream gaming is closer to crack addict culture than anything else

once you start exploring gamedev, FGC, or retro gaming cultures, you find more interesting people that care about game mechanics. your average call of duty player would put up with the verification can system if it meant they keep getting their gaming fix.

People should enjoy doing what they like so long as they don't hurt themselves or others

We all die at the end of our lives, so do what you love.
