I’ve seen shit like gaming chairs, headsets, and even gaming PCs turning out to be absolute horseshit compared to even shit used in offices.

I’m curious to know your thoughts on this. My theory is that the focus on gaming was so extreme the others that actually IMPROVE gaming like less bottlenecks get fucked over.

    Essentially anything labeled “gamer” is just there to increase the price, with no actual improvement of quality. Compare a gaming chair and an office chair; sure the gaming one looks cool and whatnot but it’s not ergonomic at all, no support for the back and hips, and is incredibly uncomfortable to sit in. Office chairs were designed for longer hours of sitting and therefore have a suitable build. Same goes for other things labeled “gamer”, gaming headphones look cool but quality headphones are designed much differently (sennheiser headphones for example), gaming computers are not worth the money considering you can build a pc that performs better and is more affordable (though not currently due to the price of GPUs). Because of the shit quality that means you have to keep re-buying the items to replace which leads to wasting money. Honestly it’s a good example of capitalism, style and labels over function and quality.
