It matters to me, because I'm a consumer and gaming is one of my primary hobbies, in which I have fun.
Living in a capitalist economy, you are essentially suppose to be a consumer or a producer. By design, if your neither, the system sees you as waste and essentially of no use. ( Read: Worthless )
It also so happens that while living in a cultural hegemony in which I'm suppose to spend money, I am also given the reigns to be critical of my purchases. Of course it is pleasant to do this in a intellectual manner. This factor comes into play due to the fact that I have limited funds, like most people do.
Hence, I like to spend my limited amount of money on things that make me happy. I don't like to buy rubbish that I personally don't find enjoyment from.
This also plays into why I personal tastes in regards to the gaming market. Some companies have certain visions and desires that are going in directions that neither my enjoyment or wallet will follow.
