  • My guess, besides the possible bourgeois themes and influences present, would be that video games often demand massive amounts of time and dedication compared to other media and may thus come at the most expense of a social life or connection to reality.

    I’m a hard-core gamer myself with over 150 under my belt, have been forever. But I also acknowledge that I’m a product of a dysfunctional, isolated environment, so the pleasure wouldn’t be guilty here.


  • In a “communist utopia”, we’d probably have the means to require less sleep and to stop aging (with how quickly tech is advancing I wouldn’t be surprised). Thus, you’d have more time to game.

    Even the early socialism of the 1936 Soviet constitution limited the working day to 7 hours with plans from Stalin to further shorten it. Everyone being guaranteed a job means less work required from individuals (and higher purchasing power because the price of goods will fall as they become easier and quicker to make). So, your free time may still go up.
