Can you explain a bit more about the preface thing? That seems fine. Are you saying they assume an article is less relevant because they don’t think videogames is a large industry? (This also seems fine to me, the point of news is to educate readers)
Their so into being the most adult version of themselves they have to have gaming explained to them like they don’t already know. I am actually referencing another thing I saw earlier this week on lemmy, where the shared article literally did that, tried to preface an explanation of just how big the gaming industry is, as if the readers, people with money that speculate on stocks etc. don’t already know that there’s gold in them thar gaming hills.
But you could be right, gaming has only been big for like 30-40 years since consoles, and in particular playstation blew up, maybe there’s still 60+ year olds that don’t know wtf is going on in the world.

I think that’s more of an investors being stupid thing.
