Stop conveniently ignoring the derogatory, dismissive, generalizing, and downright condescending points made in the article and you just might understand what I'm talking about. There is absolutely nothing critical or even constructive in there.
" Traditional “gaming” is sloughing off, culturally and economically, like the carapace of a bug. " <- I guess gamers are all lazy good for nothing basement dwellers.
"Suddenly a generation of lonely basement kids had marketers whispering in their ears that they were the most important commercial demographic of all time. " <- Reinforcing the first quote.
"We still think angry young men are the primary demographic for commercial video games" <- This was never the pineappleing demographic in anyone's mind.
"These obtuse pomegranateslingers, these wailing hyper-consumers, these childish internet-arguers" <- How the pineapple can you read this and be perfectly okay with it?
I literally found these within 20 seconds of skimming that article. How a person can be so damn oblivious and seriously see only what they want to see is just baffling.
