[title is a paraphrase]
tldr a man is trying to pitch a tactical squad military sim to game publishers. None want it because....
[quote]Really, Allen said. "I won't say which publisher, but, yes, literally, 'console gamers are not as smart as PC gamers.' The logic is that, well PC gamers can install drivers and video cards. Console gamers are just 15-year-olds who sit in front of their couch and press a button."
Allen had been a game designer at Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment. That ended in November. He had a second child right around that time.[/quote]
Do you agree that console gamers aren't as smart as PC gamers & are 15? Or, do you disagree?

Edited by Myth of Tyrant: 1/13/2013 5:08:58 PMBecause massively oversimplifying people and making sweeping, vague and demeaning generalizations is a great way to get people on board for your success and prosperity. Of [i]course [/i]you're only going to blame your failure on people just not being as smart as you and the people who share your preferred lifestyle choices. It has nothing to do with the enormous requirements that go into securing funding for investments costing hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars, but just on the shame and ignorance of people who aren't like you. This shocking lack of understanding and disappointing behavior exhibited by these publishers is one that you, in your infinite wisdom and understanding, would [i]never [/i]exhibit throughout the course of your virtuous and pious existence, ever. Great job, Mr. Allen. I hope this isn't the approach that's simply best suited to your personality, otherwise the vague, sweeping and demeaning generalizations people make about you might be ingrained in a kernel of truth.
