Gaming

i’ve been a gamer my entire life. my family is full of gamers. all of my friends? they too are life-long gamers 

i’m also building a game, and spend most of my time doing so. as such, i’ve researched gaming history & its communities extensively; i’ve been in the discords, in the forums, the lobbies, etc. in fact, i’ve been openly conducting market research in the space & talking to many of its constituents for the last two years 

my biggest takeaway after all of this time, and one that i can now say with 100% confidence is: gamers are undoubtedly some of the worst people in existence

all i can say is: i understand 

i understand why bobby opts to please his shareholders over his players. i understand why EA doesn’t care that they’re constantly voted the most hated company in america. & i understand why every mobile developer immediately optimizes for profitability over gameplay or any other initiative

and that’s because the happiness of the player simply does not matter
