Try telling that to a Warthunder player, or League of Legends, or anything like that.
They know the games are ruining their lives but uh sunken cost fallacy.
Its always amazed me that people can become addicted to an actual negative experience that has many negative side effects… but half (more?) The games industry is built on that these days.
Seriously. Why do gamers spend thousands of hours on games they hate. Life’s full of shit to do. Go play something else. Or, God forbid, touch some grass. Why waste the little time you have on earth doing something you don’t like.
Why do gamers spend thousands of hours on games they hate.
It’s because that “hate” comes from a place of love, and isn’t really hate at all. From the outside, it can be hard to understand, but the people who hate certain games the most are usually the biggest fans. They hate seeing squandered potential when something they love gets ruined by updates.
They don’t hate the game, itself. They love the game, and they love what it could be under different circumstances. They love the memories they’ve had with the game, the connections they’ve made, the experiences they’ve shared. The “hate” they seem to have isn’t really hate at all; it’s passion. They love the game and want to see it in a better state. That’s why they’re so hyper critical, because they care the most.
It’s definitely not a publicity stunt. I don’t know if you’ve ever played the game, but it is soul-crushingly grindy because leveling is the game. It’s been around for almost 20 years and every year they make it more and more pay to win.
So why didn’t he stop playing at level 100 or 200 or whatever but waited with this rant until almost level 300 in a stream with large attention? Pure coincidence? To me it looks like he wanted to go out with a bang and rage bait.
That was a wild read. Just quit playing the game dude lol it’s not that complicated

You realize that he’s a streamer and that playing games is his job, right?

“Just leave your husband lol it’s not that complicated.”
It’s a fuckin game not a marriage
I also understand some people struggle with video game addiction as well but comparing it to being in an abusive relationship is just psychotic
Don’t you think that whole thing is simply a publicity stunt? Because it kinda looks like it and it seems to work…
