[QUOTE="RareBreed, post: 9241969, member: 6945590"] True, which is why I even prefaced it with the "more dangerous question to ask". But, I think the question is sort of buried there. Why would someone only want to play one system, or even just one setting? But you said something that only just now clicked. You said, "friendly to other games without loving them". So is the term "monogamous" really like as in a "faithful relationship"? :) I had assumed it was kind of a play on words, but now that you said it that way, is the question really "Do you only [I]love[/I] a single system and remain committed and faithful to it"? As if playing another system would be akin to "cheating" or betraying the system you like the most? So that being said, I hope I did not derail the OP topic Even in a monopoly you can have "competitors". But they can be so small, that they are essentially insignificant to the industry. But perhaps you are right. Gamers are different from the mass public in that more of them are aware of other games than non-gamers. It may just be an instinctual or nostalgic flight back to their first gaming. A sort of "first love that got me into the hobby" [/QUOTE]
