> It really doesn't

It has and does for many. I am a successful, old, developer because of gaming. I still play. ofc I have moved on from pacman.

> Even e-sports are not profitable

esports is a niche media creation and has nothing to do with the core of gaming prevalence across time.

Tag, Snakes in the grass, pickle, etc are not esports. Video games are an extension of these ideas that you dont appreciate because reasons...like profitability? eyeroll

> Self deception is not a useful quality

ironic. Pretending that it is useless because you dont find or reason value, is not definitive.



> I am a successful, old, developer because of gaming.

A dealer, are you. Casinos like gambling too. Casinos want you to keep gaming:

Ah, of course. It's not the real stuff. No true Scotsman would think it's the real stuff.

Oh no, it's not pretend. It's the fact of the matter.


> No true Scotsman would think it's the real stuff.

You started on the esports tangent from a sweeping generalization.

I'm sure you can convince someone else of your edgy opinions as you move the goalpost. Good luck with that.


Correctly recognizing the go nowhere, pointless nature of video games is not "edgy".

Video games have narrowed you. It's time to stop letting them do that to you.

Break free of it.
