    Your comment reminded me of the “just leave me alone” portion of this rant. Not that I’m disagreeing with you, just pointing out that there’s an inherent danger attached to escapism.

      Just to be clear, I wasnt advocating for escapism. Merely, video games are the obvious answer to “where can I exist for free/cheap?”
