Pretty much agree with this. Maelstrom is a narcissist douche that filters comments and cherrypicks the lamest responses to "demolish". His tone changed drastically after the Wii started the massive decline and Nintendo failed to become the jesus of the video game industry like he said it would (it was certain beyond a sliver of doubt) and its very obvious that the man is sad to the core of his very being over this, he wants games and the industry to be a certain way, his way, and he looks down upon those who think or feel otherwise or wish more depth in their entertainment products. He's elitist and condescending, ironically in the exact same manner he accuses "hardcore" gamers of being.
He got one thing right, much like John Lucas did in his time, and like JL he has gained a cult following that hung on his every word and took them as gospel. Also like JL but to the chagrin of his followers, he's been consistently wrong since then and become more and more desperate ever since, leading in a downward spiral till all he wrote about was nostalgic game music and almost left the scene in shame.
The man has read a couple of books about business and disruption theory and thinks he's a genius, while the reality is that he's just a bitter, washed up asshat with a degree in bigotry and comment filtering. I appologize to all his fans for being so crass, but I am absolutely revolted by the attention this man gets.
