Huh - what does that mean? |

Obviously neither of us can say with certainty what will happen in |

the future and that's also not the point - making a friendly bet that |

nobody suffers from losing is an easy way for both sides to approach |
11 |
each other (helps if working in the same project) while at the same |
12 |
time stating their respective points. |

Maybe, but there are a lot more games than there are antivirus apps. |

I don't buy that. If someone else makes b0rk then they need to pick |
27 |
up the pieces themselves, not you do it for them. |

The central point in the above snippet is where roguelike games belong. |

It seems that Diego fell down the pyramid to an Ad Hominem. :\ It's |
45 |
super easy, I know - I've fallen often enough myself, but please do |
46 |
stick with talking about the point instead of talking about me. |

Several posters already pointed out that such a category probably |
52 |
isn't a very good model. I'm guessing that most if not all of the |
53 |
games in there would fit great in games-adventure instead. |
