Note exactly what I said: I did not say there was "no community". I
was talking about a specific thing, a community that can compare games.
Of course there is a community that plays games, but it doesn't compare.

There I am, making this clear. Apparently I wasn't clear enough, since
I got the helpful reply:

>Actually you did say 'no "community"'. You can see it in the text above.

Are you trying to be obnoxious, or what? Context matters. If you take
two words I said out of context, that's not what I said. Nor is it a
good basis to start a discussion.

If you're involved, I fear for the editorial quality. I don't think
any magazine will help the ability of the community to compare games,
since there are many games, each with relatively few players.
