As humans it's important for us to have preferences, we have to be able to make decisions and we use bias (stereotypes) to do so. In the stone age, when we heard a roar we assumed (stereotyped) that roar was a predator. If we hadn't had that bias, we might think "I should be open minded and not assume that roar is bad, hey I'll go check it out." Dead caveman. It's perfectly natural for us to be biased. The kicker is that we shouldn't use our biases to be rude or mean to one another, because after all, we're not cavemen anymore. |
I'm not disagreeing with you, and as I noted above, evil was probably the wrong word to use. I do think though that it's possible that folks could miss out on say a Gears, or a Valkyria, or an SMB, because their bias prevents them from owning a system, and that is too bad.
I understand that some can't afford (time or money maybe) all three, and this isn't about that, just the enjoyment of games on antother system as affected by your preference for one or the other.
