Jonathan, I totally agree. Great article man - it just reminds me of back in 2000 when everyone said digital was dead. But this image tho. I recently sent a deck to a pharma company about common gamer health issues. Back pain, eye strain, carpal etc. The part I didn't send them was about electronics and cleanliness. As I read the research I was horrified that I have ever cleaned one of my PS controllers. I clean screens, air-dust consoles, mice, and keyboards but it never occurred to me to wipe down the actual controller. Then I thought about how many times I used other people's. I'm not a germaphobe but I got a little nauseous thinking about it!
Like our phones, it is the things we use the most that we tend to ignore in regular cleaning routines.
Mainly the image is a bit of unfun nostalgia to the early days of the pandemic when we were sanitizing EVERYTHING, before it became aparent COVID is largely an airborne pathogen. Things changed...but are still the same.
