Are casual gamers people too?
I read Emily Morganti's opening line of her review of 'The Witch's Yarn', and I laughed a little. I'm sure that was her intent. Yet the words have hung with me, and I feel a need to comment about them.
I think everyone should be mindful about raising barriers while communicating. This isn't about being 'politically correct', it's just a basic respect. In one sentence the author has raised the specter of 'one group is not like the others'. What is this, the third grade? I'm sorry, but I have to call 'silly' on that.
In that light, I'll quote the author's closing line, and just let the readers here think about it:
'...hey, this trend toward casual "almost adventure" games could be something we're all going to have to get used to.'
