    While losers were playing video games to get their instant gratification, this winner was working towards a skill that they could use and build for the rest of their life.

    Okay, let’s not start throwing around unnecessary insults. Calling people “losers” because they play video games is just insulting your own customer base. I don’t know anyone who develops games but doesn’t play them. Let’s not tar everyone with the same brush.

        Literally the quoted text is calling out gamers, as a group. That is in a fundamentally unhelpful direction to take things in.

          You are talking offense to something way off course to interpret what they are saying like that is begging to just lay bare your emotional wound from gaming your young adulthood away brother it’s just not about you. Their message literally applies to this very well, you can make a change whenever. Nobody that games healthy will react like that, they are aware of both the good and bad, of which wasting is definitely a thing…
