I know it can be hard to believe but that extra stuff is really helpful for some tech startups. I was in one in the late 90s that eventually was bought by Cisco. We had a beer fridge with the good stuff, games, TVs, and snacks. People used that stuff if they burned out on what they were working on. Think programmers trying to figure something out and getting writer's block. They would go have a beer and play a game or watch tv, and most of the time the idea would pop in their head and they would go back and code it. Many of these employees are workaholics and stay until whatever they are working on is finished or at least fleshed out. They walk away for a break for either the reason I mentioned, or maybe they just need to clear their mind to start on a new code section or something.

Years ago when I was doing network security at the Pentagon my co-worker and I were responsible for pen-testing 3 military networks there. We would usually do one each quarter, and it was a full-on attack - getting root/administrator, remote access, the whole thing. There were many times where one of us burned out or were struggling on a particular hack, and we would both stop to make sure we didn't make any stupid mistakes. When we stopped we would get our LtCol and our LT to join us in a 4-way game of hearts on the network. They knew we needed it so they stopped and played until one of us was ready to get back to the assessment. It worked every time and usually only took 15 or 20 minutes. We were very thankful they would indulge us with that.
