Also, count me allergic to elitist appeals like "people don't know what they want". If you decided to come here and share your opinion it's because you have one and that goes for both the l33t and the hoi polloi. *Beams with pleb pride*.
The people who I have seen making this argument so far on this forum are those most strongly in favor of 5e, "we know the system the best, clearly our opinion is the most important, random purchaser will buy the game anyhow - A few, unnamed 5e purists." Glad you are not in that boat, but best to make sure.
I'm actually more or less in that field and let me tell you: it has nothing to do with being a "5th edition purist" or not. In fact, perfect adherence with the rules of the 5th edition are quite possibly on the of the topics I discussed about the least.
It's just a matter of fact across all genres and styles: the general, casual audience has nothing more than casual expectations.
Give them a neat package, production vaue with enough polish, and they will never question the minute details of what you are selling them, if not months later in hindsight.
Of course, you two are purposefully putting it in the most unlikable way, as if being "causal" about something was some sort of shame or mark of infamy, but that's disingenuous, because it's meant to be a generic consideration, not a qualitative judgement.
I don't really blame people who aren't that much into a topic for not being able to make distinctions on nuance, but that doesn't make that nuance meaningless.
I mean, I can't understand shit about motors, I don't see why MY opinion about what's the best motorcycle on the market and what feature it should offer should be valued above the one of an expert in that field.
EDIT- Oh well, look at that, I didn't even remember we basically had this very same topic discussed in the first page of this same thread. So, there's that too.
