    Yea most gamers are just sheep. They will linstall anything the most convenient way possible and not even use the 2hr refund window on steam even if they don’t like the game

      My head canon: Most gamers are children: their parents who have no interest in their kids’ hobbies buy the “biggest game” to show their affection.

          Yea I think the average is at least over 18 either way which is no longer a child. Hell at 16 you’re no child either, you’re a teen, and despite them not being too bright they at least can’t be fooled to think holding a controller in from of a screen = playing

          The issue is people are dumb, not age…

          Whenever I see people playing anything with Vanguard anti-cheat I cringe my soul out.

          Same with Denuvo games.

          Just because something works on our computers doesn’t mean we should install it. We have to stand up for those in poorer countries that can’t afford good PC’s by refusing to run unoptimized garble… But alas that will never happen, will it…

          In regards to DRM and other privacy concerns we have to stand up for our digital rights to freedom. Our PC’s should be ours but that is less and less normalized today… Our phones are no longer ours already…

          Most people are children (western countries have weird age pyramids but that’s nothing compared to Asia), that’s my reasoning. I’m very suprised I’m wrong.

            But the adults have the power to tell the kids to go to their room so the adults can play. Also, up to a certain age, you can just let them hold a controller and they think they are playing (or don’t even understand that anyone is playing and just think holding controllers is something fun to do while watching some things).

              I wasn’t in those statistics (open seas) until i was 24.

              I’m pretty sure my cousin (6 y.o) looks like a 46 y.o to the credit card firms because he plays on his father’s phone.
