Not a gamer, but is it fair to say the basic fantasy in games is being a gunman?

And is the essential activity wandering a map and getting in gunfights?
Starting to really think AI + feminism will completely lock young men out of employment starting in about 4 years. Not just "a tough hiring market", but rather that they will never have careers, ever.
Which makes me think that video-gaming will probably explode in popularity and be the bulk of what 20-30s men do every day, maybe for the rest of theyre lives.
And got me wondering what life, in particular, video games offer them. Is it the experience of wandering, sniping, and shooting opponents? Is that the optimized male fantasy life? |

I remember my internal dialogue during ITE was basically “if a Woman or a URM or an Indian can do the job I’m not getting it but dammit I still have to Interview…” and it was true then and it’s true now. Losers Lose. |

I think the 5 year idea is that something like 80-90% of dudes find themselves completely and totally locked out of things that are not DoorDash.
but more to the point, as a gaming MFE, Im curious about your perspective. if you optimized a game for a 32 year old nowork, would it be a solitary avatar wandering a map to shoot enemies? Is the reason this is every game plot because it has been optimized already? a solved problem
