“I don’t like FPS games” is what I tell most people. That’s not really true, though; the real truth is that I don’t care to give people the long-winded explanation as to why I don’t play them. “I’m bad at them,” I’ll say instead, “and because my PC can’t run any FPS games made in the last few years that are worth playing.”

The second part is true, and, on reflection, maybe the first part is true, too. However, I don’t have to be bad at them. The reason I’m bad at them – and the reason I don’t play them – is because FPS games shun me. The way they do it is quite simple: there is little-to-no support for people like me – people who started playing FPS on console way back when.

Don’t panic! It is not December, you haven’t fallen into a coma and woken up on Boxing Day; much loved plasticine duo Wallace and Gromit now appear in video game form.
