The single biggest misconception about games is that they're an escapist waste of time.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There are people who are very dismissive of games and gamers.
I'm against escapist entertainment.
There are big lines between those who play video games and those who do not. For those who don't, video games are irrelevant. They think all video games must be too difficult.
I didn't know much about video games.
In the past, a lot of films based on video games think that the audience wants to experience what it's like to play the game, and that's absolutely not the case.
One of the main things that's appealing about games is that you know a game can be won. It's an unusual game that's impossible to win.
Escapism is survival to me.
It seems astounding to me now that the video games are perhaps as important as the movie themselves. And people will spend 2 or 3 years obsessing about the video game in exactly the same way that they'd be obsessing about the movie if they were working on that.
There are times, especially when I was just getting into PC gaming, where I spent way less time playing than obsessing about the quality of the play.
There are too many games being developed by people that have no business creating games.
