There is no culture war. There are people with power making decisions and manipulating others and there are those being manipulated. It doesn't matter how many games you play or put on Steam, it doesn't matter if you buy a next gen console or not. What matters is your immediate community and relationships to those closest to you. Games as a form of relaxation aren't a bad thing, games as a life style and crusade is super unhealthy. You would do more for the "culture war" holding a bake sale and meeting your neighbors than you ever will playing games. You don't have the media reach or power to manipulate people on the scale you would need to fight an actual culture war. You have the power to form a small circle jerk and convince yourself you're doing something when you're not. All the people KiA originally spoke about are still active, still have more influence and in some cases killing people. I don't think any of them, let alone any real people with influence give a flying fuck if you make a steam game because you're no threat to anything but your own wrists if this is how you fight what you consider a war.
This literally doesn't matter though.
Who cares about how many hours you waste in an online single player game?
You're not "winning the cultural war."
You're running away from it.

Why is your post upvoted saying basically the exact same thing that I did?
People are being faggots this weekend it seems.
No bigger faggot than a karma whore.
I don't care at all about the karma.
I simply find it rather curious that I'm downvoted and you're upvoted in the same comment chain for saying basically the same thing.
