I'm glad the article mentions "Play to Earn" games, that's truly the only example needed to show how out of touch the average VC is. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that the author is too generous in his interpretation of Ohanian's quotes.

> Ohanian makes the mistake of evaluating all activities through the lens of restricted economy, in which every activity serves some future utilitarian activity, ignoring the possibility that the value of games is precisely in their ability to be meaningfully, entertainingly useless.

Or maybe Ohanian is just another rich insider parroting the same nonsense as Andreessen and the others who've sunk money into these shams.
