Sorry, I wasnt calling people mindless, you are right that anyone can enjoy whatever they want. I was referring to ‘mindless consumerism’, where people arent really frugal and just buy whatever thing the big companies want to you to buy.
And the passion thing, obviously theres a lot of passionate people at big studios, but the leads of such places usually dont and bring it all down in the name of profit for them and their shareholders. Triple A is a money making machine, there’s not a lot of innovation there anymore and a lot of the games are very unimaginative, regardless of how passionate the individual developers are.

No worries. Thx for your thoughtful reply. I understand your point now and certainly don’t disagree with it.
