alt Hacker News> I refuse to give up games that I love
But why? They're just video games. Why are they important, especially when a lot of them are designed to be addictive.
A lot of people love smoking but that's not important either and it's better to give it up.

It's very simple: I like the games more than I want to move to Linux. Playing Fortnite isn't going to give me lung cancer.

True story: I know a woman who built a relationship with her tween nephew on the other side of the world mainly by playing Fortnite with him ever week for two years - all for free because she never bought a skin.
