> All gaming is not consumeristic. That's like saying all art is consumeristic, or all music is.

Sure. None of those are necessary.



It seems rather reductive to equate lack of explicit necessity with consumerism.

If I sing a song to myself, is that consumerism?

If someone else hears my singing and enjoys it, with no discussion of payment or exchange from either side, is that consumerism?


You're right. Folk work is exempt. (It is so dwarfed by the rest that I simply forgot it.)
