What the hell kind of comment is this? It's a discussion forum, we're discussing.
I care more about gaming than I probably should, and I'd welcome a larger community as well, but not if it means gaming comes to resemble the lowest-common-denominator shit we get from Zynga, et al.
As an avid gamer of more than 2 decades (I'm 28 & started playing games on my parents' PC XT when I was 4) I don't think this is the trend we're seeing, if anything things keep getting better all the time - you got more choice & more games of more types coming out all the time.
If you want "hardcore" games, there is no shortage of new ones coming out.
Well, to paraphrase your own comment above, golfers don't care that there are many other shit golf courses being created around the world. They just play golf on courses they like. Why do you care if others are playing shit made from Zynga? You have a lot of opinions about others comment styles, what they care about etc, but frankly economics doesn't care whether you like games or not. If there's a market, it sells.
I suspect golfers would start to care if mass-market trends impacted the quality of their own courses.
Maybe you should stick to articulating your own opinions, rather than expanding on another's for him? I don't care if people play whatever rubbish issues forth from the bowels of Zynga's marketing department, but I'm not going to celebrate it in the name of getting more people playing games, either. At any rate your beef seems to be that I commented at all, or that you think I was rude, or just that I posted something you don't wholly agree with, or that I was criticizing someone's 'comment style' whatever that means (I think the pot might be calling the kettle black on that one). Not sure really what your problem is with me personally but my patience for your pointless sniping has worn thin so I think I'll conclude with 'fuck you' and be done with it.
