Reading forums like this one or Steam or Codex forums even more so one might get the impression that isn't the case, but that's because (I think) the people who have extremely strong feelings towards one combat system will be much more likely to post their praise and/or rage. Most of us are fine either way and will just roll our eyes when the discussion over which system is superior gets heated.
This site is recorded history. It archives. Written many times already.
One consequence is that words, propositions might be checked over the course of time.
Now one example that might warm a bit memory (because it is known): the documentation of the push over PoE to make it a UgoIgo product. Over various updates, changes were examined to assess how they would bring closer to the day of UgoIgo. Various remarks were made like RTwP requires a greater skillset than UgoIgo etc to explain the push, that RTwP products have no audience... Stuff like that.
The conclusion happened with an introduction of a UgoIgo mode in PoE2.
Getting an impression of this or that about players' preferences, their numbers... is irrelevant.
What matters is the outcome: the addition of a UgoIgo mode to RTwP products.
Utter nonsense. There are plenty of people who enjoy both, I suspect a lot more people do than people who refuse to play one over or the other. I'm pretty sure there are more people who own both RTwP products and turn based (Ugoigo) products than there are people who exclusively buy either. Note that unlike you I don't claim my opinion is a fact, so I'll settle for that.
Once again, opinions might or might not be factually based.
Are held as facts the following: a UgoIgo mode was added to PoE2, a UgoIgo mode is going to be added to this vid product.
And indeed this is stated as facts. Now people can form different opinions, a UgoIgo mode was never added to PoE2, there is no plan to add such a mode to this vid product. Maybe all this never happened.
Now back to the assumption that players would enjoy both, put them on equivalent grounds.
Very correct when considering that out of their blind passion, players demand the same when it comes to UgoIgo products, a RTwP mode must be added. There is obviously a list of products that fits the bill, players petition, rage, bang on the door of UgoIgo products so a RTwP mode is added.
It certainly is not like a hierarchy has been established between RTwP and UgoIgo products, that RTwP products must accomodate UgoIgo, must make room for UgoIgo whereas the reverse is incorrect, UgoIgo products must not make room for a RTwP mode.
RTwP products must be inclusive for UgoIgo players. UgoIgo products must not be inclusive for RTwP players.
This never happened of course. Only people who are reported to claim their opinions as facts could make such an unbased observation.
If that did happen and that is a big if, the american system designates the usual suspects. Time for an unPC moment.
RtwP products require a larger skillset than UgoIgo. It requires a different approach, a different culture. All cultures are not equal.
And UgoIgo players, when they come to RTwP products, they do not want to learn the RTwP ways, they do not want to learn how to be a RTwP gamer. They want to stick to their UgoIgo ways.
They do not want to assimilate.
By the american system, this should ring a bell.
UnPC moment: muslims, they want to enforce their sharia UgoIgo on everyone else. Women, they consider themselves equal to men and consider RTwP as a bastion for patriarchy. Blacks, they are intellectually inferior and RTwP requires more intellectual skills than UgoIgo, UgoIgo is their affirmative action program.
Three categories of usual suspects as designated by the american system.
The PC brigade or simple minded people by the way will come, claiming that in fact, considering the demographics of customers, those who are banging to the gates, demanding to be included, are white men (the absolute evil)
They are the ones who do not want to assimilate, who are used to being the center of everything and feel insecure as soon as they are left aside.
They are the ones who do not want to assimilate.
As a result of it, simple minded people will also rightly be categorized as people posturing their opinions as facts.
Once again, none of this ever happened. There is no hierarchy between UgoIgo and RTwP. If there were one, people behind it would be known.
