    Games as escapism is an unhealthy coping strategy, but so are hard drugs and they’re even more fun

      Escapism is an appropriate coping strategy for situations where you do not have influence over the outcome.

      Where is the harm? Why care so much about things we cannot change?

      Naturally, things get hairy when you have some influence but that influence is very small or difficult to measure.
