A new trend emerging: developpers argumenting on the behalf of gamers/players.
Blatant in this article.
Followed by a line of arguments (not his own but quoted nevertheless in his article) that make sense from a developper's point of view but have little to value for the player's side.
The article cant even be honest enough to state a simple thing like taking a stance for developpers and not gamers.
Maybe because some developpers could argue that they are not that for steam early access.
Simple manufacturing of his own opposition to give depth to his point of view.
A simpler way to say this is that 'he's making a straw-man argument'. I'm not sure I see it. He quotes several posters who are arguing on behalf of the "gamers", but doesn't say it from his own point of view. You could argue this is cherry picking in order to build a straw-man. Also he says "every gamer should be pro the system" but he's not speaking as a gamer, he's advocating they behave a certain way.
Shrug. I read his blog as more of an exploration of his thought process than as an argument. He's really transparent compared do some of the developers you've held him in the same company as. (See what I did there )
