I'm not saying that about all video games, I was trying to say that people who don't like learning tend to gravitate towards whatever video games are popular at the time and don't necessarily form complex opinions about different types of games or their tastes. Anything below surface level enjoyment that would require learning would be too much. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. There's nothing wrong with just loading up whatever new call of duty or fifa or something and just relaxing.

I guess I didn't elaborate enough on that, I just said "popular video game" which didn't get my meaning across. In short, I was saying those people also don't put a lot of thought or effort into what entertainment they consume because whatever is easiest and most popular is good enough, because they don't care to dive into learning about anything else.

I'm also not saying these games don't have complicated and high skill ceilings. Most do.
