Yes.

Gamergate red-pilled a lot of young adults and helped put them on our side.

Of course they do. Games are like a universal pastime now. If it wasn't for a corporate controller like EA and a few others there would already be massive electronic sports by now.

As a conservative, yes, I play video games. I don’t play these sorts of video games, but I do play.

Yes, including a former Pfizer executive, a former Stauffer VP and the former CEO of FIDCo in retirement.

“The More Complex the Mind, the Greater the Need for the Simplicity of Play”

Having observed this behavior amongst some of the most intelligent, brilliant and fascinating people I’ve known, I’d say it’s true. Not universally so, but for many of them.

I’m 50 and have played computer games most of my life. Some people golf. Some people fish. And some people play computer games.

... This one does.

To be fair, I have so many chronic health conditions that I’m hardly able to get out of the house, and I’m only 34.

A lot of the people I meet playing some of these games are right-leaning, particularly in World of Tanks, Call of Duty, Gears of War, and Fallout.

Games are highly addictive, so I quit when enraptured by “Tanks”.

Absolutely. I do. Not the multiplayer ones, though, my play is all solo.

Back in the day I played DOOM until my wife threatened to leave me.
Then I got hooked on Age of Empires.
The last two versions of Windows hasn’t like AOE so I play sporadically.
Other than DOOM I never played any of the shooter games.

Oh, absolutely.
I'm gonna be doing some Far Cry 4 and 5 tonight with a 12-pack of locally brewed IPAs. Good times.
