First-person shooters might be one of the most popular video game genres to have ever existed, but it’s not every person’s initial cup of tea. Indeed, for someone that grew up on JRPGs or real-time strategy games, it can seem quite intimidating and unapproachable at first blush.

The video game industry has been plagued by seedy business bigwigs and corporate manipulation since its very creation, yet only recently has it devolved into something far more predatory.
