    I’m not understanding what you’re confused about here. The suggestion here isn’t that they’re using the phrase wrong out of some kind of bumbling incompetence. I’m very clearly suggesting they’re using the phrase wrong in an Insidious effort to denigrate consumers. I’ve not hidden that at all. They are intentionally using it to make criticism of game companies sound irrational. That is the goal. That is the point.

      I’m not understanding what you’re confused about here. What does any of that have to do with my comment? And why would they do that?

        They would do that because the video game journalism industry is extremely anti-consumer. They’re basically paid mouthpieces. Their job is to sell video games.
