I think it’s impossible to fully know, though if we’re talking direct influence, no, I don’t think so. My ideology mostly comes from education, and my education mostly comes from my family influence- that is, I ended up getting a PhD and as they say “reality has a liberal bias” (although studying critical theory certainly helps).
That said, I’ve played MMOs since I was 15 and even met my partner of 13 years on one, so like… who the fuck knows where I’d be if there was no Internet, lol. Probably a lot more productive, though.
