Me thinks the author is trying to be too serious and too egocentric.

He did some academic-type writing on video games eight years ago, so this is not the case of a college student complaining. Rather it appears to be someone who wants to be a professional writer complaining. Ironically, this appears to be written to appeal to jaded college gamers as serious scholarly writers don't use the word "sucks."

Maybe he's being stylistic? Perhaps that "sucks" was an aside in which his childhood speaks its mind, however immaturely.

I think you need to address the points rather than his writing. Unless you have no problem with what he wrote, just how he wrote it.
