My initial comment was extremely vague and off the cuff because I spent too much time in internet echo chambers and I erroneously assumed HN readers would immediately arrive at the same conclusion as me.

My issue with this article is the entire concept of video games meeting basic needs is extreme reductionism at best. People are complex creatures and almost never have singular reasons for liking a type of entertainment.

People's preferences can be measured and graphed fine, but you can't, in good faith, assign a simple basic needs reason for their preferences.
