you're here ranting about game design.
everything is ultimately a fad, it'll last as long as it lasts and then will fade into obscurity where only some people vaguely remember it.
the same will happen to any game you might produce too.
also if you ignore a game's value outside of gameplay, you completely are missing the fact that games don't need to have amazing gameplay to have value.
also, if people want to enjoy the game, let them and don't preach about game design here, go complain about it in the game design thread.
