[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 8242661, member: 85555"] In one instance I was essentially asked point blank by a poster if I thought people were being pompous, and I answered that question honestly. Prior to that point I tried to use more civil, but still accurate language, to describe the behavior I was seeing. I have a completely different estimation here of the popularity of styles. I think the stye you are promoting is one that is gaining tremendous traction. I don't know who is more niche. I think I have expressed though an openness to there being a wider net when it comes to sandbox, so long as we are making distinctions between things that matter within that framework. And I don't think there is anything bad about the approach you are promoting. The only time I get into disagreements about it is when someone aggrandizes that style in a way that seems at the expense of other styles (for example when I see people asserting living worlds are impossible or that they are really 'just playing to discover the notes', or when they try to diminish the role of agency in a sandbox and claim it for something more player facing).
