I'd ignore it altogether, were it not that games are being presented culturally as a universal form of entertainment. Makes me feel like a freak for not being interested. It's like sports: I have no interest and would be content to let it be except that it's expected that everyone is interested. I find especially irritating the headlines for whatever international match that's been going on recently. You'd think the U.S. was about to declare war on the Netherlands. What? What'd I miss? Turns out it was just some stupid game.
