I know this is a metaphor, but where exactly do they exist? If you're in a public pool, it's not like you can go to another town and use theirs. And if it's your own, chances are you only have one.

Public pools aren’t the only pools. There are literally millions of pools in the world. You have options even when you think you don’t. If you limit yourself to the one and only public pool in town then you’re limiting yourself by only thinking in a box.

There are hundreds of thousands of games in the world. Many of them aren’t AAA garbage fleecing their customers. If you limit yourself to only AAA games then you’re limiting yourself by thinking in a box.

Go on and explore the world already. You have more choices than you think you do.
