When you started trading did you get redpilled on vidya being huge capital drain designed for numale consumerist culture? I did, I even tried playing a game today and boredom set in almost instantaneously. Activities that don't build gains are pointless to me.

That’s a pretty autistic way of thinking honestly but yes videogames don’t really interest me very much anymore. I guess I’ve mostly grown out of them. Sometimes I’ll spend 20 min replaying kotor 2, or I’ll play some divinity with my good friend because we always laugh a lot and have a good time. As you grow up I think it’s natural to focus more on things that have tangible effects on your life.

Problem with video game industry is that they have become mainstream. This means they are susceptible to the same cultural pressure as other industries like movies. It also means they have strict ROI numbers to meet which results in recycling proven models rather than experimenting with new IPs.

Gaming is one of the most cost-effective forms of entertainment there is.
