[QUOTE="overgeeked, post: 9383068, member: 86653"] Ah. Yes. I was referring to this thread, not gamers as a whole. Yes, that's absolutely a thing. I just don't see it happening here and now in this thread. Yeah, I definitely read it differently than you did. People play games for a lot of different reasons. Some of them mutually exclusive and some of them completely nonsensical to those who don't share that reason. Take challenge as a great example. Some people play games for the challenge, others don't, others still will avoid a game with anything approaching a challenge like the plague. I read "play this game because it's challenging" as the poster saying that game's level of challenge in game play is important to them. I read "that game's too challenging" as the poster saying that game's level of challenge in game play is too much for them. Nothing more. Morality doesn't enter into it. It's all about what you find fun. Sometimes you want to play Elden Ring, others Darkest Dungeon on Stygian, others still Civilization on Settler. None are objectively better or worse, they just suit different reasons for playing games better or worse than others. Absolutely. [/QUOTE]
