Sure, options can be good to the extent that they don't interfere with the designer's artistic vision of the game. I never disputed that. I'm not really sure what we're debating here.

So I take this as a "no", we can't can't have a reasonable discussion because not only do you refuse to stop with this "it's a video game first" rhetoric but have now even upped the ante with there's no such thing as a simulation video game.

What you call "we can't have a reasonable discussion" I call a profound disagreement in definitions. Which is okay. I really don't feel like I've offered any opinion which is particularly controversial or unreasonable.

The irony is, I wasn't then nor now trying to be flippant (I'm glad you spelled out because I had been using "flipped" lol), you are the one not taking this discussion seriously, for lack of a better term, by taking seemingly disingenuous stances.

I mean, it's a message board so I only take anything here but so seriously, but again at no point have I not been completely candid. I'm not obligated to agree with you.
