As a long-time pc user, but also used to love PlayStation and Nintendo, I dislike consoles for enabling companies to make more money on less effort and being held to lower standards, accelerating the negative effects of capitalism. Basically, irresponsible consumerism and easily manipulatable tribalism. Basically, dumb fucking kids buying endless amounts of garbage and allowing investment firms to churn out even more garbage, inviting all of the greediest MBAs and passionless pieces of shit into the gaming community. Fucking EA is now owned by Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner.

Fuck.

I don’t hate consoles. I hate what has happened, and hated watching it happen in slow motion unable to do anything about it. It’s STILL happening, too.

Microsoft holds a LOT of blame for this. But also other things, values, groups, and entities.
