> I'm still peeved so many people hate video games categorically.
I'm more annoyed that everytime video games come up, someone brings up Civilization as a strawman to argue.
99% of games aren't Civilization. We all know people are talking about that 99%. The article even calls out that the parents make exceptions for some educational games/screen time. And yet rather than legitimately engage and address peoples concerns about video games, it's always the same argument of: raise the benefits of Civilization, share nostalgia about playing it in the past and ignore the actual arguments being presented.
This thread is no exception. This is a place of more intelligent discourse - address the opposition's points, or concede they are valid.
