No he simply implied that the game had value as a hardcore experience. Which it most certainly does not. Yes you can find a few hardcore gamers that can get off on just about anything. Every community has its embarrassments. I once knew a hardcore gamer that dedicated himself earnestly to bug hunting. That was all the guy did just went through a game looking for how to break something. He would spend hundreds or thousands of hours doing just that. Frankly the point eluded me, but for him finding a bug was like a revelation from god.

The point is if there is a point to all of this is simple. Using an obscure rarity as a statement is absurd. What do you say if I find a cat that will let me put it on a skateboard and roll it down hills without jumping off. Do you say skateboards are obviously a good entertainment for cats. Probably not you will say I just found a rather peculiar cat. In the same way that if you find some very strange hardcore player that can actually turn a very casual experience into a convoluted trial by fire.

Nobody works from this kind of logic in real life, nor would they expect it to fly. Why even say something like this unless you want to create the wrong impression. Hardcore shouldn't even be used in conjunction with this game its just wrong on so many levels.
