In other words, they believe they've discovered a way to have an objective opinion?
Anything so heavily dependent on personal preference like the type of recreational activity someone enjoys is simply not going to be able to be evaluated on a purely objective basis.
[quote=Cam Banks]In fact, I think they advocate the notion that many people are having fun playing bad games when they could be having MORE fun playing good games. Games they think are good: Savage Worlds, Spirit of the Century, Burning Wheel. Games they think are bad: All White Wolf Storyteller/Storytelling games, Serenity (and other games we make
), etc.
The fact is, though, these people are having
fun, and no one else is being hurt by it. I don't see why this is so offensive. I don't e-rage at people over the fact that I enjoy objective based FPS games over Deathmatches (As an example), why should they conduct themselves similarly?
And yet another word from our sponsors
