But in the end, from my time with Escapist I've learned quite a lot; though not in the intended way. Despite being deceived by Ben Croshaw into thinking this was a top-class site for gaming journalism, I've gained further insight into the mainstream mind. When I really stand at the top one day...

The latter doesn't exist outside of maybe Giant Bomb. And you know, you may be right with the whole money thing...

Yes, that is my entire point and everything I stand for goes by it: The uninformed are not entitled to opinions that should be taken seriously. In not believing so, you're effectively saying casual gamers are entitled to opinions that should shape the industry's direction.

That's my old Reddit I abandoned; hence the lack of activity. I knew someone was gonna try this. I don't even go by the name Sung-Hwan anymore; it's Arcana-XII everywhere now. There's no option to change a name on Escapist so yeah.

I specifically choose to listen to people I feel measure to my experience in the context of whatever discussion is taking place. I would never so much as look at someone who only played Persona 4 and made claims on SMT for example, but I would listen to someone who has played their fair share of...

I'm very perceptive, have a lot of experience in regards to various mediums on my shoulders, and generally make a lot of good points/observations that get tons of positive feedback when I decide to post on sites like reddit. I don't consider myself perfect since my experience and knowledge is...

Pewdiepie is the most subscribed person on Youtube and specifically centered around popular gaming trends among other things. He's a perfect icon for mainstream observations; why else would I have chosen him? As a person, Pewdiepie also symbolizes the power of mainstream control over the masses.

I think you missed my point with that but I strongly believe in human elitism/survival of the fittest; which means I think a large chunk of humanity (the mainstream crowd) are no different from wild animals and it is up to the elite to tower over them. I don't consider myself quite up there yet...

Also, going back to what you said, I don't visit Youtube for constructive criticism; I visit Youtube to get an idea of what the mainstream crowd is like. The people posting comments on popular Youtube videos ARE the mainstream audience. For quicker reference, I just look at old Pewdiepie video...

"Also, you've been making several contradictions. Are bad fans people who mindlessly follow mainstream media and buy whatever, or do they never stop complaining about things they like? Because the two kinda contradict each other." Both. What you have to understand is the mainstream crowd...

Nah criticism is what you call well thought out feedback with a healthy amount of context; something creators would do well do listen to. The "criticism" Square Enix is catering to is this, and don't bullshit when you say you don't see this when you visit Youtube. "OMG FINAL FANTASY DEAD I...

But the most important fact is for the problems these small fanbases may have, they don't dictate changes from their creator; hence Atlus doing what they like and making games like Catherine and even SMT for that matter, something that no Americans at large will generally buy. Square Enix...

There's a reason the conspiracy of mainstream brainwashing exists and far predates DmC like you said; it's exactly for the same reasons I think. My other most defining trait is my great hatred for anything mainstream, in any shape or form. Mainstream media, be it even mainstream in niches, is...

That's because Sterling has you under his grip, but don't deny he's a man who makes a living appeasing to what the mainstream crowd of people want to hear. That's how I always saw him, and never had too much of an issue with it. Puppet might be too negative of a term, since I don't know who he...

So after thinking overnight I came to a simple decision. Despite Final Fantasy being neckdeep tainted with the mainstream plague, I'll continue to play through the mainline games along with SMT games and keep writing articles about my thoughts and experiences with each game; ignoring what...
