On this note, I think people underestimate how intrinsically important things like our relationship to our physicality, and face-to-face contact are to us as human beings. Just in the last few decades have virtual worlds/networks/games been seriously present in our lives, and I feel like a wager has already been made that our lives will continue to become virtualized ad infinitum. I think we are starting to witness the human limits of this notion with corporations like Meta pushing virtual shit no one wants, and game companies trying to force competitive scenes unsuccessfully. Video games are rad, and watching them can be rad, but 'esports' feels like a forced experiment.
