What does this have to do with anything in the article?  No where does it even mention that.

We either move past this obsession with abstract system specs, or keep living down to stereotypes about gaming as spectacle in lieu of art form.

Yes, but what you've said has absolutely nothing to do with the statement he made. 

He's arguing that we need to move beyond geek orgasm/rage over specifications, otherwise gamers will never move beyond their stereotype and be taken seriously.  It's about maturity.  Not of the industry, that is doing that on its own, but gamers need to grow the fuck up and start acting like mature adults where applicable. 

We can all laugh and say it's pathetic for a 30-some year old developer to rage-quit gaming, but the fact of the matter is there are just as many 30-something gamers that are just as laughable and pathetic because of how they act. 

Gaming is about the enjoyment of the experience.  It's not about cliques.  It's about entertainment and enjoying that entertainment the way you want to.  As long as the experience is an enjoyable and entertaining experience, why should anyone care on what device it is enjoyed?

So PR guys should be more mature and stop talking bullshit about tech? understood.
