The only debate is how much fun one is having. And I would propose the player that seeks to learn every strategy, every nuance, and every counter is probably having more fun than a pair of sloppy players who “play for fun”.</i><br />Seriuosly? Sounds like a colossal douchebag to me...porphyre77https://www.blogger.com/profile/07620350717226228078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817647623501108348.post-34875912802432941012013-06-25T10:01:18.420-04:002013-06-25T10:01:18.420-04:00I think the article discusses that, although it mi...I think the article discusses that, although it might do so in a bit of a slantways manner. <br /><br />There's nothing wrong with playing for fun. But declaring that you play for fun, and thereby implying that another person does not, is a completely incoherent statement. <br /><br />I agree with you about the retort bit, but it's not really necessary. You can still call them a variety of names, but taking a sort of high horse because "you play for fun and they're just being high tier cheap characters" is just kind of bizarre. <br /><br />After all, if you played for fun, surely you'd still be enjoying your defeat.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596442998967851832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817647623501108348.post-45641358522632077722013-06-25T09:47:23.567-04:002013-06-25T09:47:23.567-04:00I would actually draw a distinction between those ...I would actually draw a distinction between those who "suck" and "those who play for fun".<br /><br />Those who suck are people who cannot for whatever reason overcome an inability to play a game, they play often, they try, they may pay professional gamers to help them learn some tricks, but they just can't get ahead.<br /><br />People who play for fun are those who play enough to derive enjoyment, but are not in it to win it. They don't devout time to be good at the game (let's look at this rationally, if you put time into being good at basketball you will have coordination and cardiovascular health as a reward, not so with Call of Duty). They don't see winning as a big enough enticement to put in time that they would see as a chore. Also, this is usually a retort to vitriolic opponents online, who really don't deserve a retort because of their obnoxiousness.Rocketboy1313https://www.blogger.com/profile/08319848550470396208noreply@blogger.com
