Why do games attract such cynical, sarcastic people?
Video games are the entertainment for higher minds. Before the mainstream corrupted them as business venture, that is.

because we dont have many friends and we get bitter about being social outcasts

Cynical, sarcastic people follow plently of hobbies. You see them all the time in the video game community because it's where you look the most. Look at any hobby and you'll surely find most of the same type of behaviors as you'll find in the video game community.

Cynicism is the new cool, the trend of the times.
They don't, this is the medium with by far the most retards who will not only buy any piece of shit they're advertised but also go to absurd lengths to defend corporations for no reason.
Because if you had a happy life you wouldn't be playing games
I was a happy, productive and optimistic person before I came here.
>why does escapism attract people unsatisfied with reality
HMMMMMMM
This board is for discussing games not people who play them. Go make your shit threads elsewhere.
Be honest /v/. If you could escape your life and enter a fantasy world, would you?

Speak for yourself.
Because all the happy ones are outside having a social life instead of shitposting

I did, if it doesn't apply to you that's ok.
escapism
it's insidious, really
video games redirect the impulse to be productive and work towards a goal into something that literally doesn't matter
it's fucking meaningless
kill me

They depend on others for their happiness, they cling onto their relationships because nothing else makes them happy.
They are sad little husks, when you realize that you start fitting everywhere.
DID YOU KNOW:
most people who claim to be sarcastic have no idea what the word even means? satire is a theme common bereft of the proletariat for reasons no more than ignorance and sheer chauvinism.
