I'm finding this thread of interest too, I live with someone who has worked in the games profession for 20+ years. He's an artist and it's not a good time to be 'creative' in games.
Games are massive money now like films so people wanted guaranteed sellers.
I also play games. I like group pve content and working together as a team - I play with people who make games, and it's interesting to play with them. They analyse and enjoy the content, the art, the engine and such. On the whole these people genuinely are so passionate about what they do, they want to move people, engage, people amuse and entertain them.
I'd defo agree with games being in the lower chakras - but there’s nothing wrong with that imo, all in moderation, there great time wasters.
I also agree with people who say it's the player and it provides catalyst.
I really like people and find them endlessly fascinating, so when someone kills me in an mmo I wonder why - especially people who kill me again and again or when someone kills you when your afk, I try to wonder why they do that.
For the most I feel wonder and love at them, I admit the occasional thought of getting my main and squishing them but it's something I'd not follow through.
Even pvp style is what you make it, I spent an hr the other day duelling with friends while chatting on skype. No anger just trying to out play each other and having a laugh
