Same man. People on this forum who can see what’s going on outside of the bread and circus are the minority of the money spending gaming community. Most are just more than happily mildly complain and buy their next distraction from the horrors of life, which at times I don’t blame them.
Yep, I have a friend group who gets real about talking about the evils in all aspects of society, including gaming. But then we talk about how Blizzard has an incredibly toxic culture of harassment towards women and then I see they’re playing a Blizzard game. Like… Wtf. It’s like gamers take exception towards terrible companies as long as it’s the game we want to play.
