  They could have taken out “sweaty” and kept the same meaning but that probably wouldn’t have driven the same engagement.

    “Sweaty” has a specific connotation in video games, so it does provide some meaning.

      A specifically negative and demeaning connotation which isn’t necessary.

        Maybe? I’m not that deep in “gamer” culture, so I always just thought of it as descriptive of a particular intensity of play that leads to sweaty palms. We all experience that from time to time, some prefer it, others don’t.
