Edit:
guess it's a matter of perspective. It was more of a "this is how it is" and "if you dont like x, turn it off or dont do it" and "we're testing mechanics, stfu already"
Ok maybe not stfu... but I wish he'd said that heh.
I dont think it was aimed at any one group of people though. Although the "hardcore" group tends to dominate the VG boards in general, you get all sorts of players putting their 2 cents in . Too easy, too hard .. whatever.
