Far from it, I am fairly pragmatic when it comes to most things. I simply do not believe that looking for political or social validation from an entertainment medium that is made in large part by and for those who are most opposed to Socialism in general to be a worthwhile or rewarding endeavor. I like a fair few videogames myself, because they can be entertaining, not because they have perfect political themes, in the vast majority of cases they don't, and for the exceedingly few that do, I simply said it is a pleasant surprise.

That's a good take. Just take note tho, cultural products are products of their culture and society. Videogame are not inherently "bouggie", they just happen to be produced by these type of interests in our current time.

I'm very aware, and as such I assess them by how they exist today. When the time comes that the situation improves, I'll be the first to change my mind, as should everyone.
