Frankly thats mine. Its in my head, I sit, alone, and I read a book. If its part of a shared setting, with a wide range of other elements to interact with, then sure there is room for discussion, but largely if I hold a book, read it, I'll have an opinion on it and I can very easily brush off anyone elses thoughts on it.A game? Thats whole different scale. Now we are talking presentation, crunch, intent, design goals, and direction. At that point I (and I would argue pretty much everyone on this forum) has been dragged into the arena of 'debate' around what is or is not good. This is thing I took away from Reynard's OP, and something I have come to my own peace on over the last few years. Its up to me to engage or not. Its up to me to allow someone else (who is wrong btw) to impact my mood, view, or take on a piece of work.Now sometimes the owner of the IP/Game/Whatever, takes it in a direction I just cannot engage with. Thats fine as well, its still my choice on how to carry my attitude towards it, and a negative one is just damaging to me, more than anything else.So at this point, I'm wiping my hands of various IPs, or in some cases just cutting out the stuff that is crap and moving on.Even the guy that owned the IP is not immune from this. Han shot first.</blockquote>
