It's called predictive programming, apparently. I actually hate games. Unfortunately a lot of 3D is geared towards game content. They are fun but mostly a huge waste of time but I guess heroin is as well.
It's all apocalypse dystopian stuff. I try to avoid this. You go into ZBrush or a sculpting app and it's too easy to start doing zombie apocalypse or genetic mutant type creatures, especially if you get heavily into learning anatomy. This is what so many people do. I can draw but it has to be from real like. That's what we were taught. No anatomy. I wish I knew more anatomy but I can see some dangers in it.
