and detracts from the message.
if you’re going to ignore the rules
the payoff needs to be worth it
otherwise you’re just being…
self-indulgent?

It’s writing. It’s all self indulgence anyway.

Also, the writer chose to start a new sentence without capital letter.

It's one thought per line.
A few notes on a topic without the in between words.
Works for me.

I'm in the opposite boat. This style nicely mimics how I think. I find the types of fragment in the article align with the boundaries of each unit of thought in a manner that quite clearly approximates my internal dialog.
I think your examples does a disservice, as your breaks do not follow such rules.

#9I grew up playing Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and the like. For me, the whole point of a video game is the gameplay, not some story that the creator wants to tell. I barely tolerate narrative in video games, and mercilessly skip cutscenes whenever possible. I have no interest in playing any of these so-called "walking simulators".
But maybe that's just me.

It's the bold that really puts me off.
