This guy obviously has a narrow view of what qualifies as a crpg.

Yep - we discussed this before - for him CRPGs are Classic RPGs (Isometric, party based).

RPGWatch and the RPG Codex use the term CRPG as Computer RPG (Every RPG that runs on some kind of of computer).

Yeah, I remember that now. He insists on saying "crpgs" despite the fact that he's referring only to a very specific type.

I guess adding one or two more words, so that people who aren't familiar with his narrow definition understand what he's talking about, is too much work.

He's either really lazy or arrogant or both.

What CRPG really stands for is pretty clear after the release of the CRPG book:

Times change, it's how they call it now. I guess that when people started using "RPG" for computer RPG, there were similar discussions.

Joke aside, I get that he needs to vary the type of content to produce more, but he should stick to game reviews and character build analysis. Giving his opinion on other topics is not his strong suit IMO.
