People don't want to play "All too real life problems." So no, I really truly do not want to "engage with" global warming, runaway industrialization, lack of resources, and power mad elites who control everything. That's not a game.
fair you allowed to not want it
Please speak for yourself. You don't want to play "All too real life problems". None of us individually are representative of "people" near enough to speak for them.
Pretty sure 'people' is the plural of person, so if there' more than one, there's 'people' and you can speak for them if you're one of them.
Not with any accuracy. One person's opinion can't be legitimately extrapolated to groups.
Or we could just not police people posting observations of multiple people and semantics them to death with the idea they're speaking for a way larger group than they mean.
If I said, "people like sandbox games and physics-based simulation mechanics", I expect I'd get some pushback on that, some of which would definitely suggest I shouldn't be speaking for a community as if I know they share my preferences.
Nothing in that sentence suggests you're speaking to the community. You said more than one person likes that. At the very least, you and Lamefan. Unless I'm overreaching, both of you are 'people'. Done and dusted, there's not remote justification for pushback there.
