I am not going to tell you how silly you are.

I don't need an excuse not to like it. I don't need a reason to prefer bananas over strawberries.

Now stop forcing other people to like the things you like.

I'm not forcing anyone to like anything. But that is a stupid thing to say. Yeah, they are trying to re-create table top RPGs on the computer, but it's never be done before - and it's not like their game design and engine even remotely resembles anything out there. I don't see how you can call it a "reinvention of the wheel".

Is civilization a mere 'reinvention of the wheel' because it was inspired by a board game, or was not the very first turn based strategy game ever created?
