I'm not ignoring anything, just calling out something specific. His post makes sense when you look at it from the lens of nostalgia (again, not that I agree with it). The argument is that people, when young, played games without being overly critical of them. They were thus able to enjoy games, even ones considered "bad". This, according to him, is different now as people are more critical, more constrictive in their choosing of titles. Put another way, you could say the bar for what people consider an acceptable game had been raised as they grew up.
This argument, premised in nostalgia, while worded poorly, hits at a different base then something that just calls certain tastes bad and in fact, because it says the opposite of what you are saying, warrants less criticism from me.
Some one saying, "yea I enjoy a bunch of games, even poorly received ones like back in the day" I'm not going to cal out vs. "you have bad taste."
If you want to say we interpreted his posts different or if I should address you in context of strictly what you saw, cool. But I addressed your post for that specific reason, and if I saw him to say the same kind of thing, I would've quoted him as well.

I think it's better if we drop this, as I don't want to detail too much and I'm essentially arguing for what I think another poster meant. Apologies for derailing the thread and apologies to you for taking up your time.
