I think a pretty significant part was moving, kind of by chance, to Linux and then watching videos of the content creators that revolve around it, but even before that I think I started questioning the matter more when I played (please don't laugh) Watch Dogs 2, I know it's silly, but it had some themes that were really compelling, the techno dystopia going on is pretty accurate in how bad it can be and playing as characters that go against it made me think a bit more about that, then after getting really into privacy I realized how spot on it was in several instances
Nothing to laugh about, Watch Dogs 2 does a good job of portraying how things could and likely do look like already.
What stuck with me the most was when they talked about health insurance upping their prices if they catch you ordering one too many pizzas.
That sounded so outrageous, but it'll sadly be normal.
Oh, glad it's not only me!
I always wondered why so many seemed to dislike it, I thought it was good, though I never played the first one so maybe they didn't like how it compared to it
You didn't miss out on anything, the first game wasn't particularly good, in both a technical and creative aspect
