If people had just chilled the fuck out... we might be in a better place now.

Gamers aren't a bloc, and each person has their own individual game tastes, opinions, and willingness to spend money on trivial junk.

Most gamers are tween Fortnight players or ones who play exclusively mobile games full of ads. They are not people like us. This was inevitable, and nothing would have or will ever change it. Most people just want a pleasant distraction from the horrors of life and don't have any particular principles when it comes to how they spend their money on games.
