"Ever since I was young, I was a gamer. Gamer na kami ng kuya ko so iba eh. Parang it's a different world. Games are games. Kahit ano pa ang composition ng laro,” he noted.
He then advised his fellow gamers to properly balance gaming and their personal life.
"Perfect balance lang. Dapat balanse lang. Ako kaya lang naman ako bugbog sa online games gawa ng quarantine.
“Sa mga nasa bahay ngayon, stay safe, stay at home, manood ng stream. At gumawa ng makabuluhang bagay,” he added.
Meanwhile, in an episode of Eat Bulaga's “Bawal Judgmental” segment where game streamers and their concerns were put on the spotlight, Alden expressed his dismay over the prevalent sexism in the online gaming community.
He said that despite the differences in gender, every gamer should be treated equally.
