It’s nice that this young woman finally figured something important out. I am actually kind of hostile to gaming, so it’s hard to get my sympathy on anything gaming-related. But I really enjoyed her article. With any luck, the total shamelessness of the response she received will help her take a few more steps towards self-awareness and find some new hobbies that don’t involve a bunch of young adults treating opportunity costs as a religion. After all, every hour you spend playing Gears of War 3, or any similar game, is an hour you didn’t learn a thing worth learning, and didn’t make a dime. The best revenge is either living well or being happy. Obsessive video game play has never produced either of those results for anyone.
