Why Do Some People Judge Gaming? - Gaming Is Culture too Gaming has always carried a stigma, seen as childish, unproductive, or less “intellectual” than books, TV or film. But why? In this video, I explore the double standards around hobbies, the snobbery that surrounds gaming, and why video games deserve the same respect as any other art form. Retro games like Mega Man 2, Donkey Kong Country, and Ocarina of Time are every bit as meaningful to me as classic movie or bestselling novel. They are masterpieces in their own right. If you’ve ever been told gaming is a waste of time, or felt judged for enjoying it, this is a reminder: hobbies don’t need to prove their worth, they just need to bring you joy. It’s a way to find a little bit of calm in a world of chaos. 📬/ peak.retro.official@gmail.com https://www.youtube.com/@Peak.Retro.Official https://www.facebook.com/share/1BJt2mxUBM/ -------------------------- 'Phase Shift' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuck
