    I originally wrote this back in 2020, but my wife reminded me of it when she found this bullshit from Bloomberg Opinion in her RSS feeds: "Young Men Are Gaming More. Are They Working Less?" If this be a schizopost, make the most of it. This rant is going to meander a bit. Either go with it...

    View: https://twitter.com/Xbox/status/1483431175041347584?s=20 What the fuck? I didn't even know this was in the cards for them to do. This is seriously becoming concerning from an industry consolidation standpoint, and a concerning number of people don't seem to care. As long as they can...
