Gaming got me into coding. Messing with Warcraft 3 world editor back when there were a lot of dota clones. Good times. I think blizzard had their own language JASS that was very lua like
I was tempted to respond with an offhand comment about the size of the industry or similar, but what axe do you have to grind about PC gaming? You'd prefer folks go to the far more injurious mobile gaming space?
Really, I have been gaming before even getting my Timex 2068 in the mid 80's, starting with Game & Watch handhelds, and I don't get "build your aquarium" culture of many PC gamers nowadays.
It is so bad that is almost impossible to buy a traditional desktop on regular computer stores, there are only fish tanks with rainbows on sale.
Unfortunately you’re right re:dating prospects but that’s mostly because game devs haven’t been able to reproduce the insane success of valorant at getting the better gender to want to play hardcore games.

No, I prefer them touching grass and talking to some people, or getting a less addictive and time-wasting hobby.
That's a worthwhile view, but unlikely to occur. You may as well wish away casinos and alcohol while you're at it.

Luckily, what's valuable and what's not is not on you to judge.
