Ok, I just posted this image to the thread asking for expensive video related items I own. Because I own a video game development company and I posted a picture of their front door. How do I own a video game development company? By tricking them into thinking they own me. Yay!
Oh and I didn't even notice you used the word expensive too. What do we do now detante?

There's a social stigma to everything now. There's not one activity that isn't get sprayed haphazardly with the shame cannons. Society isnt. Where's the society! Donde esta? Just a bunch of third world country traumatised escapees.

Because for the longest time "gaming" was a hobby occupied almost exclusively by men of the lowest social status, and since there was no social credit to exploit it kept out women and poseurs.
That's changed a little now, but it's never going to fully shake off its stigma because by its very nature it can't exclude low-status, undesirable men.
