Your initial claim seems excessive. Have you been playing terrible video games? Have you never played at all?

Am I funding my demise by playing this free upgraded version of Tiberium Sun? Is my 10 year old MeinKraft account doing me in? How about DayZ?
Are you even limiting this blanket statement to games on computers? I see what you're 'attempting' to say, but you've corrupted your own advice by claiming it's every game, which seems obviously untrue.
If you were trying to say that many of these companies turning out those shitty games use the money you give them to attack you, your people, and your society, then I would agree.
Considering your accusations of being excessive, have you observed the irony in your own reply? It sounds like you arrived at the correct interpretation without further assistance which is great! That you could use context, and locale to derive premise, and because you filled in the blanks that I left leads me to believe that you are going places. I could agree with your arguments if only for pedantic reasons, but when you allege that I claimed that it was ‘every’ game, when I clearly didn’t, I won’t. C+, Thanks for playing!
One quality I do possess is extreme pedant (a formalist or precisionist) skills. When you say, "if you game" with no qualifications added, that is inclusive of any and every game.
And maybe I'm just a linguistic elitist, but the ability of others to figure out what you were attempting to say is no defence for failing to master what is presumably your primary communication protocol.
If you really are a hog butcher, then the ability to communicate well is probably not a priority, or at least your top priority. Still, pointing and grunting to communicate your thoughts and wishes leaves a lot to be desired, even when some can deduce your intended meaning.
Make your time!
I love you man, and Im glad you’re here to set me straight! Also - my comms are even less useful as a software engineer. Hogbutcher is where Im from, not my vocation.
Thankfully, I diverted my path from coding and computing as a profession. I spent way too many hours tracing assembly code back in the 80s, and pouring over the 68000 technical manuals. Was a close call there, but I successfully escaped.
But jumping into years of studying the human OS at the same level might have been worse, in the sense of knowing how the sausage is made leaving one feeling a bit queasy. The ease of 'hacking' humans is why everything is the way it is, with marketing and advertising just being the tip of the iceberg.
Anyway, hope you enjoy your software engineering. Cheers.
