I love this outlook, but I feel you don't seem to know your audience. For the most part this community is like /v/: a "gaming" website dedicated largely to misanthropy and moaning about how games are all shit and everything around them is bad and EA eats children and wurg glurg rable rage ect. Between that and the political correctness inquisition having made it very clear that the answer to "can't we just play games?" is "No you fat maladjusted misogynerd shitheap", and I can't help worry that you are setting up for failure.Moving forward, The Escapist is eschewing the "curmudgeon" mentality that is so pervasive these days in favor of the "enthusiast" mentality that we want to foster among our community, and geek culture at large. We want to focus on finding the good in the geekspace, rather than focusing on the bad.
That said I really wish you the best, and if you can lead this site into a new golden age of apolitical discussion and positive outlook you will certainly have my gratitude.
