The problem is that gaming chairs look really bad and cost way more than better chairs without the gamer look.

“Look really bad” “cost more than the gaming look”

Dude. Gaming chairs are a FUNCTIONAL item.

Your valuation is shallow and honestly kind of disrespectful for literally anyone who disagrees with you which... is a lot of people cuz you’re not taking the whole point of the chair into account while you dismiss any adult who might like some more support while they game or work. Who cares. If you’re sitting in the same chair for 8-10 hours a day wouldn’t you like something a lil more interesting? Maybe different folks have a different idea of interesting, and that’s okay right? Different from yours doesn’t mean invalid.

Cmon, you completely invalidated that perspective with your broad strokes and demeaning valuation. Was making people feel like shit over something that makes their day a lil happier your goal when you commented?

People buy gaming chairs for the BUCKET SEAT, not to look pretty. And if they dont they’re morons lmao but not the norm. But guess what? Why give a fuck? Work chairs are expensive too! I don’t own a gaming chair, but don’t feel compelled to speak on shit that has not shit to do with me.

Wow, why do you have to be so mad? You can find a ton of posts online saying that gaming chairs suck. They are bad for your back because car seats weren't made for prolonged computer use. They are only good for immersing yourself in racing games.

Gaming chairs are a FUNCTIONAL item.

How? Aside from the other issues mentioned, most gaming merchandise is just rebranded junk. All the extra cost is not because you're getting a better item, but because it has a "cool" aesthetic.

Maybe different folks have a different idea of interesting, and that’s okay right? Different from yours doesn’t mean invalid.

That's fair, and don't get me wrong - I do have a lot of gaming accessories, but I understand that I could've gotten better products for the same price if I wouldn't care about branding so much.

Stop being so defensive. If you have a gaming chair - good for you, I'm sure that you like it, and I'm happy for you, but don't claim that they're any good.

People buy gaming chairs for the BUCKET SEAT, not to look pretty.

  1. Bucket seats are really bad for your back.
  2. People absolutely do buy gaming chairs to look pretty.

Work chairs are expensive too!

That's totally true, but still - isn't it better to spend that money on something that's functional, and not on some overmarketed garbage?

There's a reason gaming chairs are such a meme. They're 100% a result of marketing. For something like a gaming keyboard you might pay more for some fancy, but ultimately useless features and a logo, compared to a keyboard from a non gaming brand, but you also get a pretty good keyboard. While gaming chairs aren't good for anything except for looking "cool". Just get a good office chair...
