Huh. Good to know. Though maybe that could be interpreted in either direction. With a few exceptions here and there, the games that the average gamer likes don't really appeal to me anymore. I'm still playing MOO2 and classic X-Com and with the exception of Fallout 4 and Mindcraft, the most modern game I play more than anything is FTL. These days, the phrases "video games" and "buyer's remorse" are within close proximity of each other when I discuss the topic.

FUN FACT: I know the head of video games at one of the major talent agencies. His clients have included Ron Gilbert, Takashi Nishiyama and, like, Bungie. He's got every Xbox, every Playstation, every Wii and no PC.

That's a hell of an endorsement for console gaming if I ever heard one. Not that I need much convincing. They're much cheaper and much less of a hassle compared to PC gaming.
