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.
