So you're making a comment to say that you no longer care for FPS...I don't quite get it. That's like saying the release of Starcraft 2 was a waste because some SC1/BW players got tired of RTS, or gaming in general.


No. He's saying he won't play it. Nowhere did he mention anything about other people or that the game as a whole is a waste.


Sigh. I didn't say the game was a waste of time, or that FPS games or dead, or anything like that.

If you're going to be pedantic, at least try to interpret an opinion literally.


I may not agree with it, but the heart of his criticism is (harshly put) that you're polluting HN with your opinion because it isn't valid past you, nor does it reveal anything deeper about the subject at hand.

He can correct me if I'm putting words into his mouth.


See, you're doing it too. You're putting words in people's mouth and arguing against a position that was never made.


However, what he said is spot-on. I am looking for some discernible "point" in the hope that the comment is not just the arbitrary expression of an individual's taste, which it now clearly is.
