I mean, I can understand the spirit of what they were getting at. It is a bit exhausting that in the tech community gaming comes up all the damn time as a demerit in the MacOS/Linux space (while the later is pretty painless lately) as though its the majority usecase. Heck, many deem Macs as “useless” because they aren’t a target platform for gaming devs.
Calling gamers “whiny” is a touch harsh. Sure, buying a console makes sense for a good section of consumers. If they plan to buy a device that is only for gaming, is easy to use, and is relatively cheap I could get it. Especially since many game studios seem to focus on optimizing for consoles and don’t fill their titles with weird anti-piracy garbage on them.
