I can play a lot of my games on a computer that cost me less than $100, plus peripherals. Gaming is cheap nowadays as long as you’re not gunning for the newest crap, and it lasts a long while. Meanwhile, playing basketball regularly requires you either have reliable access to a car (I don’t) or live in an area where there’s a publically available basketball court, AND enough people to play. Yeah, you could set up hoops in the street or something, but literal cars run through there. And people need to back out of their driveway. If you can’t do it in your neighborhood, then you have to spend time that a lot of low-income folks don’t have traveling to and from somewhere that does have the requisite things. Not impossible, but not at as convenient as an old business laptop from 2017 off Ebay with Steam on it.
What world do you live in where more people play basketball than online video games?
Even then, I don’t think there’s a way someone on my team could be so bad that I even raise my voice at them, much less verbally belittle them. Whenever I have a useless teammate I think “Damn, they must be new. I don’t think we’re winning this one.” And then I do my best and I have fun.

It’s one thing to not give anyone lemonade, you’re never obligated to do that for no reason, however it’s another thing to set up a free lemonade stand and tell whoever tries to get lemonade that they’re annoying and to go away.
