It's actually kind of sad how many grown adults get emotionally attached to video games they'll probably stop thinking about in a few years or companies. I wonder how and why this happens. I used to think it's an offshoot of nerd syndrome - where your hobbies are mocked while you grow up so you defend them as part of your identity - but video games are popular and mainstream now.
Oh man that last bit. There's a subset who haaaaaaaates that this hobby has gotten popular and mainstream.
The amount of people I'm able to talk to about various video games today.... I WISH I had this many back when I was in high school.
