Actually, being a consumer of ballet requires far less commitment than being a consumer of videogames. I'd guess that the most fanatical audience member goes every few months.

Habitica is a self-help web game that's designed to be played for a few minutes a day. Duolingo's model is 15 minutes a day. An Audiosurf run is the length of the mp3 file you feed it. Fallen London taps out your turns after about 20 minutes. Auti-Sim is one level that can be explored in about 10 minutes, less if the noise gets to you. Auti-Sim isn't built for repeat plays. One-shot games are used a fair bit in education and training.

If you don't actually play videogames, maybe you're not in a good position to evaluate the level of commitment involved.

I’ve played two of those. You would have to work hard indeed to find someone in 2020 who had never played a game before.

People can know about a thing that you love and still not end up loving the thing.

Still don't care. It's clear that you're going to duck criticism of any ridiculous claim you make with a manufactured persecution complex.

Actually, it reminds me of a particular style of fandom discourse that goes like this:

"The Rise of Skywalker is kind of a mess. Where did Palpatine come from and why is he making the same mistake again, and what is up with Hux?"

"*SOB* Youu jyst haTe uS bwecause we're REYLOS!"

My claims:

Games require skills and time to enjoy.
Not everyone wants to acquire those skills or commit that time.
This is not a value judgment on your hobby.

Which of these is ridiculous? Oh wait I’m not actually that interested.

[(Anonymous)]

Games require an excessively large investment of skills and time to enjoy, equivalent to a performing arts professional.

FTFY

The skills required for many games are to use a mouse or keyboard, and the time expected is five minutes. I know because I do that kind of usability testing on minigames for instruction.

[sabotabby]

You do know the equivalent between an analogy and an equivalency, right?

[(Anonymous)]

So put a number on it. List the skills required.

I can: Use a mouse, five minutes. That's my target for a learning game that will be shown in an online classroom. Use a mouse, five minutes.

[sabotabby]

It depends on the game. But you know the OP wasn’t talking about 5 minute edugames. Come on.

Is this the point where you cry crocodile tears about imaginary green men from Mars attacking you on your media choices rather than admit you don't understand game design?

[sabotabby]

Are you okay? Do you need a nap?

[(Anonymous)]

So, back to whining about your personal media choices, which no one gives a shit about.

[sabotabby]

Ok
