> Having a more typically "professional" office setting, combined with some more flexible perks (like flex funds for wellness), strikes me as a good way to avoid filtering people out and inadvertently selecting for an overly specific company culture.

This is an extraordinarily good insight.

> I love Quake III, but he doesn't, and he feels like it's both a waste of time and a reinforcement of a specific type of company culture that he doesn't really relate to.

Even if I did love Quake III proper (hey I am prone to OpenArena from time to time :)) I could not imagine anything that would force me to hate any given thing more than doing it as part of Mandatory Fun Time.
