  • There’s a lot more to what destroyed hanging out in the pub than scheduling

    For sure but even if you switch out computer games to board games, that is still not the same. People moved, a lot of games need space and hauling the box, etc

    In school we used to have breaks, we were hanging out just because of that. Now most often we don’t even work together anymore. Unless one has a job that forces them to come to the office or is one of that ~1% of the workforce that prefers to, and can have a chat at the water stand, I think for many people the reality is that if not for online games, they wouldn’t hang out with anyone anymore


  • You know where there term “AAA” comes from, right?

    Games used to be a niche - made by gamers for gamers. Now it’s gotten more mainstream so we have more industry around it. Good games aren’t gone, just don’t get advertised, same as everything else that is worthwhile

    As for social aspects of the games, I don’t agree with your take. We don’t have time to be hanging out in pubs every weekend anymore. Hopping in VC to do some “base building” requires less scheduling
