[QUOTE="shadzar, post: 5458542, member: 6667746"] HEY! I resemble that remark! :( Since Danny made that comment I have been wondering was I turned into a casual gamer without my permission? I don't buy anything from Paizo, WotC, etc because I don't play/run games they currently produce. I was buying minis...but thought they died long before last month. :blush: When it comes to RPGs, I do have one preferred, but not all versions of it. Otherwise I will play a few more if in the mood, but not buy form them. From an economic standpoint I went form a hardcore gamer years ago, to an extreme casual gamer. :( :eek: It wasn't my fault I swear! I can buy stuff, RPG products, things! There is just nothing I want that is in production.... :rant: How dare the industry do this to me. Downsize me, lay me off as a gamer and then blame me for it! I was there, I still have my wallet, but you left me! The industry dumped me! :hmm: No I will tell people I dumped it, because it was spending time with other gamers behind my back... OK I am laughing too much to continue a V-day related analogy, but does the industry view align with gamer views? Because one doesn't try to play every game on the market, and only some games in certain fields and genres, they are just viewed as a casual gamer because the industry just barfed out games at an alarming rate? Does the number of games played determine your gamer status? Very interesting stuff to think about.... [/QUOTE]
