Is it reductionst? I suppose it would be if one contended there were two "sides", so to speak; even were I to contend that there is, those who like balance and those who don't, I can't really say that's really the case because I might like a balance on some regards, find it bland in others and annoying or even offensive in others still. In which case it's really down to the games industry to be diverse enough to cater to various tastes, personalities and backgrounds. And as a general rule I'd say there is a bit of a lack of that at the moment: whether or not politically, there is a trend for a "one size fits all" force-feeding of particular games styles at present, or at least styles that I personally find disagreeable. But even that is not unique to today, the industry has always tended to swarm from one fad to another.
