Justice is an old friend, so I am biased. But I think he is a genuinely good human being, very talented at game design, and also a...

My issue is with your unfounded assertions that you know best and that there is one true way.

OK, I have a solution. As an experiment, everyone in the thread buy my game Other Worlds, read it, and report back in a week to see what...
