Derek,
My statement wasn't an attack on you, I was merely pointing out the fact that I know of no one that plays your game. Then again, I know of no one that plays Barbies Dream House either. However, your extremely (understatement) defensive nature informs me that you are possibly full of fluff. Someone that gets that defensive, or reads everything with a negative connotation, means they are either full of shit or exaggerating something. Or, perhaps on my past posts, you are reacting to those, setting the tone, and using them as a reference?
Anyways, I have a nice analogy for you. If you were a band, you would be say, Striper. That utterly forgettable, laughable band that has a christian following. I cannot say I have ever walked into a party where someone yelled "Turn up the Striper bro!". Instead I hear "Crank the AC/DC" or other well know, GOOD, bands. Still, you have a following I guess. You make enough cash to go on and become "independently" wealthy whatever measuring stick you use for that. To me, I still view your efforts as a waste of time. Had you never existed or had you never made a game, your impact on gaming one way or another would have been utterly pointless and ineffective. You're more well known for you brash, bold, arrogant, ignorant personality than any and all of your games combined.
That truly is sad if you break it down.
As independently wealthy as you are, you are socially bankrupt my friend, and always will be.
BTW I do own a business that is moderately successful.
PSS: Who the hell uses a term like "common folk" Derek? Man you really are a tool. Do you refer to your "co-workers" as underlings? Play Dungeon Keeper ever and shout at the screen?
