I knew someone would call me out on that.
Fair enough, maybe you can call them gamers on a technical level because yes, they are playing games.
Still, the casual market and it's intense success has hurt the more serious aspects of the video game culture. It's akin to seeing a child's crayon drawing in the Louvre; it undermines the efforts of those who wish to keep gaming at it's best, on the edge of technology, on the cutting edge of story telling and the cutting edge of interactive entertainment.
Doesn't it make you just a little mad that Nintendo and other companies can throw together some half assed casual game and sell it for millions while other games with a lot more depth and value and investment get left by the wayside? I'd have thought you would support niche games considering that we all play Blockland.
So basically, you want to keep the one generation of gamers?
When did you start gaming? I started before I even went into school.
"it undermines the efforts of those who wish to keep gaming at it's best"
Right, keeping kids out of it. Because you know, none of today's gamers had their beginnings in gaming when they were children. Children in gaming is a completely new thing and is absolutely horrible.

Yes, I know. Nintendo should abandon its roots as a family friendly console and head up fountains-of-blood avenue because some selfish morons can't accept that gaming had a lot of its roots in family friendly entertainment.
Doesn't it make you just a little mad that people continue to undermine Nintendo's work just because it doesn't look like crCIA or contain fountains of blood?
" I'd have thought you would support niche games considering that we all play Blockland."
Remember how you said "a lot more depth and value and investment"? Somehow I don't think millions were put into blockland considering Badspot doesn't have millions. Consider getting a better example or quit being a hypocrite.
GET THE forget OVER YOURSELF
