"Listen, I have enough trouble tracking my real-life social obligations and long-term grudges, I can’t do it with a bunch of elves or space marines as well."

reminds me of this: "When you are young and free to play games, you can't afford a good PC. When you are finally an adult who can buy whatever he wants, you have no time to play anymore."

is this just inter-generational whining? or a new phenomenon from a generation of gamers growing up. the gamer demographic is now older than ever, and the industry is starting to adapt?
