The point is you don't love "old-school" games, you love games that are "concise and thematic and esoteric and Gm facing and complete in 60-odd pages". That's not the same thing as "old-school".I don't know what the point of this argument is in the context of this thread. Is it just to defend new games? Or to disparage old games? I mean, if I said, "I love ice cream, it's so cool and flavorful and rich!" and you made sure to point out that sherbet is also cool and flavorful and rich, and moreover some ice cream is gross, I'd wonder what you were on about.
When your entire post title is a misnomer, you shouldn't be shocked to get pushback.
