Its a shit argument. This is exactly like being fat. There is almost no excuse worthy of letting you off the hook. Fat people exist because they dont want to put the work in to lose it. Some have more issues with weight than others. That means some have to work harder than others. That is life. Video games are now used more as an escape than anything now. Im guilty of it too like the rest of you guys. The problem is that the real world has been so shitty that we turn to digital media to alleviate this. This is why gamergate did so much damage. You got a bunch of people who had nothing else to turn to mad and focused on a task/target. These same people are usually focused on a game for 8-10 hours a day. Perhaps if the world wasnt so god damn shitty people would spend less time using it as an escape and more as just a thing to play for an hour or two and then wonder what the fuck was outside, just like when we were kids.
