Hah, if this isn't the truth, then I don't know what is.

The comment about video games being adapted for "normies" is especially relevant: it's what brought in all of the "cinematic" focus, the dreadful orchestra music, and the removal of depth and simple little "shiver-inducing" moments. In fact, you could replace "women" with "chads" in the original post, and it would make just as much sense.

The other interesting remark is the recounting by the guy who came back to the hobby after getting his career established, only to find ruins!

Back in the 90s, I remember how desperate other video game fans were to make the hobby "acceptable" and mainstream. Even as a ten year old, I would ask: "Why? If you like playing them, who cares what other people think?" All of those pathetic morons got their way in the end.
