That don't illustrate your point at all. I freely admit I do not know the point of the "editing" part of your comment, which is why I tackled it as either an implication of being disingenuous or you just finding humor in it (in which case I do not see what's funny ... especially because you said that two replies after I edited a comment). 

What do you mean MY nothing comment? Your last reply was basically admitting you weren't interested in the conversation anymore. You gave nothing to work with and no real response other than "I don't care if you've seen it or not, it's real!" So yeah, judging by your nothing response I guess we are done here.

Although 

"However, if you are saying that you've never read anyone say that cinematic games are ruining gaming then I simply do not believe you.  "

I never said I haven't heard that. I have heard it, or at least statements somewhat similar to that. The people I've heard it from did not say it in such an upfront and ignorant way however, and they never said those games should outright not be made, nor were they "attacking" them. It was also never as broad. The people I've heard say that were giving critic. Do not conflate it with the same thing. 

If you remember the argument originally started when you said: "Detroit: Become Human is going to generate a ton of negativity from the expected "omg it's not a game it's a movie" crowd who cannot stand the idea that others might like something they do not."

So you went from saying that there is an entire crowd of people who are not only negative but also that these people can not possibly fathom how a game in said genre is liked, to saying these people have said games of an entire genre should never be made, to saying that these particular people have felt that the cinematic approach has ruined gaming for them (or something). 

Yeah, you're not saying anything at all.  Your argument isn't even an argument.  I tell you what I'm talking about and you  pretend it's something else or that I've changed what I've said by expanding on it, all while you avoid even touching the original point.  

I give you the exact argument I'm talking about and your reply is "but they might have legitimate criticisms and arguments".  What does that even mean?  I specifically define the people I'm talking about and then you say I'm generalizing them?  I mean, what?  It's like I say that I'm talking about a group of green aliens and then you say that I shouldn't generalize that group as being green.  It's meaningless.

Read what the other person says then address that, not some point you've invented on your own.

You yourself are already being inconsistent who you're defining. I literally proved that in my last comment. At this point you're just defending yourself by saying I'm making up stuff. Sure, it's REALLY easy to say that someone just isn't addressing your points. It's been done a million times on forums and I've certainly said it before. It's basically the way to get out of any real point, "you just aren't addressing what i'm saying man!"

Well you've already shown that the definition of people you are describing IS loose because you keep changing what exact kind of statements you're referring to. Again, which one is it? A ) An entire crowd of people who are not only negative but also that these people can not possibly fathom how a game in said genre is liked, B ) people who have said games of an entire genre should never be made, C ) particular people who have felt that the cinematic approach has ruined gaming for them. 

See how you ARE generalizing? You changed the point of discussion three times and only connected it by the general idea of people who are negative against a certain genre of games. 

Oh wait, you're just going to say I'm not addressing the point somehow, right? Even though I'm literally showing how you are generalizing and throwing a huge blanket over many different subgroups of people.
