Let me summarize my point of view. For many years, "real CRPGs" were a dead genre. Therefore, nothing that happened on this site actually mattered. Everybody could just let loose and have fun, dancing on the grave of their dead hobby.
But then CRPGs came back. Inevitably, the atmosphere on the forum shifted as the community geared itself toward anticipation and analysis of this new wave of titles. Not everybody was happy with that change. And some of them decided to blame the guy they felt was most responsible for putting it front and center.
"Stop posting about these games so much! Why is this megathread 500 pages long, how am I supposed to read this? You're not supposed to care this much! It's all popamole! It's all woke! NOOOOOOOOOOO!"
