Being a fanboy makes more sense than being a fan of a team because you spend time playing the console of your choice and learning to love it. With sports you are just blindly liking a team for no reason. It has no basis. I don't get how people can say fanboys are delusional while people who are a fan of sports or politics aren't. it's essentially the same thing! Discuss! |
With sports it is as much the community as the club itself. When I hang out or travel with fellow supporters real sense of camaradarie. It has a culture and a history and memories of the highs and lows. You're talking many people spend in excess of $1000 a year and countless hours working on tifos to support their club.
With gaming it may be a passion as well, but there is not that tribalism to it. People are loosely connected by purchasing the same product. It is a much more business like arrangement. Give me the type of system with type of games I want and you have my business, cease to do so and patronage ends.
Even during low years I would not abandon my club so I find your analogy wanting from my personal experience.
