Every now and then I get PM/emails from denizens of other forums who feel the urge to inform me of intellectually stimulating discussions that could be summarized as "Codex is teh suck".

Some fun reading where RPG Codex is mentioned:

It's kinda ironic that olaf visits the Codex often and is a registered member.olaf said:RPG Codex is a ridiculous place and nothing with the Bioware name would ever be looked upon favorably there. I am stunned when I see RPG devs doing interviews with them. Its a sad state of affairs when that shithole is thought of as the PC RPG fanbase/community/whatever.
Tom, baby, do you have some kinda reading comprehension disability you haven't told us about?Tom Ohle said:It's not the PC RPG fanbase. It's a very small portion that likes a very specific type of game. (Planescape: Torment is about the only one they really like)
I like working with them -- obviously, since my days at BW, I've had a love-hate relationship with RPG Codex -- but I don't think they're anywhere close to the full representation of the RPG space... and any PR rep who thinks that way doesn't know much about RPGs. The "PC gamers" referenced earlier in the thread were -- in the case of the Dragon Age announcement -- BioWare's primary target group... people who bought BG2 and/or NWN and were primarily concerned with traditional PC RPGs.

I'm all for elitism-- please, I'd say in all modesty that I'm a far superior elitist than well over twelve billion other elitists in competition for the throne of cool, and my attitude, complexion, skin tone, singing voice, neatly circumcised penis, smart smile and full head of hair handily beats those few remaining in line-- but wow, rpgcodex is far too elitist for me. Who do those guys think they are?
