[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 8659394, member: 16814"] Why? What purpose does this serve except to try and pigeonhole these games as serving some kind of identity needs (and therefore separate from other games)? I think this is terribly reductionist as well. You might be on better grounds looking at setting material this way. But, yeah, seems you've already done the pigeonholing. What point is that? And what was defensive about what I said? I don't feel the least bit defensive about your question -- you asked it, I don't agree it's well founded, and I provided my reasoning. This comment really seems like an attempt to set up the ad hominem that it's not important to consider the argument because the person speaking it is clearly defensive. I can't imagine what other use trying to point out someone being defensive might have, especially considering my response was even and listed exactly why I think as I do. [/QUOTE]
