I'm not looking for a heated fight here, but for the sake of clarification I feel the need to address this. This statement was never the intention. To be honest, this entire idea never even crossed my mind when reading any post on the subject.
I agree that people should be more careful at times with their word choices. Some of the things people say can be misleading, and potentially would not be so had they chosen different words/phrases to use. However, the flip side of that very coin is that people are often capable of reading into things that are not there. I can accept that people should be careful about how they word things; I'm asking you to accept that people are just as capable of taking things out of context. Given your statement that I quoted, this seems to be the case in this situation.
This is also highlighted by your own claim that trying to show the difference between an observation and a complaint is "an excuse". It's not an excuse when you're attempting to show somebody the reality of a situation that they've interpreted incorrectly. When I said he made an observation, I was attempting to clarify the context for you, not defend it.
I understand that you keep throwing out other user's names in an attempt to validate your claims, even those who haven't even directly weighed in on your view. However, I ask that you also see that there are far more people who are trying to tell you that you've taken the subject way out of proportion. I'm not attempting to insult you by saying any of this, I'm just trying to tell you that your choice of words in past posts have been needlessly aggressive.
Everything I said in my recent post was true. I have no hate for Injustice 2, and no desire to see it fail regardless of any particular criticism I have of it. So in this regard, I can accept your apology for the accusation.
First off I wanna make something perfectly clear, I wasn't aggressive in any of my posts n that same thread, I was only shocked from some of the stuff that you and others said as they were ridiculous, or at the very list sounded as such, and if I was aggressive in that thread or the previous argument of mine in this thread, that's only because people tried to purposely piss me off or just bland out insulted me. I wasn't aggressive on my own accord in any shape or form. I hope I have clarified that.
And regarding this topic at hand, yes I'm aware that people can take things out of context, but that wasn't the case here for me. I read both what you and Juggs said, and that is the message that you guys delivered. Now this might not have been your intention nor you were aware of the misleading that this can cause, and that is understandable, but considering that are games are truly not built to last by their core design from other genres, and the way you ignored the other factors other then the most "comfortable" ones to mention (the 2 year business mode is completely separated from the lifespan, as well as the dev support) there is almost no way that someone from the outside who wanna join this community and also doesn't know all of the factors involved or even a casual fan of NRS who also might not know it all, gets across that thread, see this comment and that isn't the message he gets from it, and then walks away without looking back. Because on one hand, he is new to the competitive portion of the community and wanna join, and on the other hand you make this claim in such a convincing and confident fashion, that's what new people in the community will understand and leave because of that, as well as being delivered to people who are already in the community via the typical internet hyperbole snowball effect.
And that is one of the things that hurt the community and TYM, people just say hyperbole stuff without thinking long term, and then no wonder the competitive portion of the NRS community doesn't grow that much. Just like in the case of Sonic Fox and his salty Tweet about Black Adam, as it basically says, even if he doesn't aware of that, that you don't need that much skill to be good in Injustice 2 because all you need is just to put some work on Black Adam and that's it. Yes Juggs and you aren't Sonic, but considering the history of TYM, once hyperbole stuff starts to roll, it's only a matter of time before it will become a fact and it will have the same influence as of a pro like Sonic. And yes I'm aware that people need to take any case as it's own, but that was one of those times were the cases are essentially the same. Both claims basically said "it's not worth playing IJ2 on a high level".
So no, I didn't take things out of proportions, because saying something like, using only the same very specific reasons that are comfortable to say, will cause only harm to the community, the scene and TYM whatever you aware and admit that or not.
And about your "context clarification", you essentially did ignore stuff like that people still play MKX despite IJ2 being the newer game and relied on the fact that it didn't happen with MKX and IJ1 without taking into account the fact that others have matured and realized you don't need to have dev support to play the game, as well as saying obvious stuff like not playing games from the same series like MKX and MK9 at the same, while we were talking about playing games from the two different ones, like MKX and IJ2. Those were among the stuff that made it very hard for me to that "clarification" seriously.
I only hope now that you see what I meant and what was my intention.
I really feel like this argument has been gone for far too long, there is no need to continue. I will stop here.
