You're declaring this thread a failure because the intended discussion...happened? And that because I agreed with reasonable points that someone else made, I have disgraced myself?

Frankly, I have nothing to "redeem." I'm answerable to the moderators, not to you. If you aren't happy with this thread then you certainly don't have to participate, but if you think that gives you the right to mock me then I have to ask exactly who you think you are?

The intended discussion happened, because some people were willing to look past the strawmen. People who perceived your thread as flamebait weren't wrong, because if I were to write a troll thread, that would be the one way to go about it: Generalize an entire fanbase to the most outrageous statements. I mean, "company X is the only one to innovate, ever", even if you combine the worst people of all fanbases on this website, you won't get to ten who push such a line.

Your OP gives me the right to mock you. I am not the only one who did it either.


It's okay to flamebait if it's a troll thread though, right? 

Also almost everyday I see people here claiming that Nintendo is the only company that makes good games. I can look for those comments if you want. I'm sure it won't be that difficult. Same for the innovation part. He never generalised either. He said "three assertions I often see here and elsewhere" he never claimed that all Nintendo fans were like this. These opinions aren't the majority obviously, but they do exist.

Edit: For the record I do think Nintendo is the most important.
