I don't understand why there are so many people who consider themselves "Marxist gamers", but at the same time are distracted by video games.
The origin of gaming is working class, and as a working class movement, it is materialist. I don't know if they at least know what dialectical materialism is, since they don't see such an abysmal contradiction between gaming (fantasy) and marxism (materialism).
They remind me of the liberal “gamer” Jason Schreier.
And the same with some anarchists.
What do you think about it?
Your comparison makes no sense.
A conjunct of sciences and disciplines together (mathematics, physics, mechanics, computer science, art, drawing, design, animation) versus esperituality and idealism.
Video games don't pretend to be anything but fiction.
