    Wow. It feels like you’re talking directly to me about one of my family members. It’s clear that this kind of apathy towards video games isn’t uncommon

      Oh yeah, You’d find these behaviours will be against almost anything that isn’t condincidered productive. They’ll insult a persons hobby just cuz it isn’t used to generate money. They don’t hold motivation by interest in any esteem. It’s like a symptom of a toxic work environment where every second has to be counted as how much money has been made or wasted. Then these people cannot turn off that part of their brain even when they’ve finished work and it creeps into every relationship they have.
