And united we sit!
There are approximately 7.88 billion people in the world, and while we're not about to make any sweeping statements, one could argue that there are 2 types of people: gamers and non-gamers.
The latter generally don't understand how anyone could enjoy staring at a screen for hours, exploring fantastical worlds, fighting to be the last one standing in a battle royale or trying to crush as much candy as possible. They roll their eyes and go back to watching their TV shows (on a screen, nogal, for hours).
For the gamers, the division goes further: console, PC or mobile. Each faction has its virtues, and each one is ready to defend their preferred platform. Like Bulls and Stormers fans, there's just no common ground for these folks.
There is, of course, one thing that ALL gamers can agree on: the importance of a lekker gaming chair, like our main deal of a pro gaming chair from Novogracz.
