I had no interest in defending vidya, because my judgment is that people should play it less. Viewing the medium monolithically is wrong; Faker is not your average WoW junkie, he developed while they stagnate. Hence the medium isn't sufficient as explanation.

"Some shit is more palatable than other shit, but to say that all shit is shit, why, that ignores the possibility of more-refined shit!"

The personal and social outcomes aren't predictable based solely on the medium, hence the claim (which is not "the medium is sometimes/almost/mostly the message" but "the medium IS the message", forgive my strict interpretation) is wrong.
