Not OK? Why not?
Is it ok for a PC gamer to dismiss consoles if they think that gaming should require complexity and technical sophistication? Sure it is.
Can console gamers dismiss PCs if they believe gaming should require nothing more than popping in a disc/cart and playing with a basic controller? Sure, why not?

Basically because both PCs and consoles have some truly amazing games and it's not OK to dismiss them because some people thinks that outdated hardware = crap system and games. Developing games is about taking advantage of the plattform you are developing for and seeing how much you can improve the existing tech. Besides, there is a difference between something that's complex with a simple interface and a game that just wants to make everything as complicated as possible for the sake of it and apparently it's not cool to streamline some things..

So you have the right to have this opinion, but an "exclusive" gamer doesn't have a right to theirs? "Truly amazing" is highly subjective. Seems like you are employing a double standard...

Just because you have only one plattform doesn't means you have to hate the other. How much more complicated can it be? When I used to have a Playstation 2 and only that I didn't diss my friends for having a Gamecube or an Xbox, if anything I wanted to get one too but I didn't say "XBOX SUCKS", "PC SUCKS" or "GAMECUBE SUCKS". Besides, again, there's a difference between a fanboy and a gamer, I don't hate PC gamers or PC gaming at all (Most of my favorite games are PC exclusive games like I have No Mouth And I Must Scream, Harvester, Phantasmagoria or King's Quest), I hate the fanboys that think they are better and smarter than an average gamer.

Wait, people are shipping kindergarteners? That should get them on some kind of pedophile watch list or something. Sex offenders waiting to happen.
You should avoid looking in to Hanamaru Kindergarten. It's a show based on the premise that kindergartners are shipping themselves with their teacher.

So... basically 3-4 year old kids being on a relationship with their 25+ year old teachers... is it me or humans suck?
Music snobs. More specifically, the ones who do not play instruments. I run into a lot of these kinds of people as I play in a band and book shows occasionally. Their opinion is the end all opinion, period, and usually they got it from wikpiedia or some other shitty web site.

"I like to express myself with music that someone else wrote."
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

So in other words, they're very dogmatic over something they shouldn't be, right?
