    They’d be perfect for the job if they actually wanted to work. But they probably don’t want to work. They want to continue sitting at home in their underwear playing video games. They may have the skills, but not the work ethic.

      It’s not 1990 anymore. Almost everyone is a gamer these days.
      It’s a bigger industry than the global movie box office.
      You have no idea how much work goes into being really good at a game.

        That’s why I’ll never be any good at any game.
