If it makes you happy: Elite Dangerous is successful in my opinion. You could have got that easier, next time just ask rather than making weird innuendos.
The X universe is way more successful IMO. You're projecting
Why should I when it wasn't me making the claim?
I just said that Elite Dangerous is a successful game and someone else said "No it isn't, because X is more successful" which is a pretty weak argument.
Under which definition of normal....yours? Let's focus on the "IMO" bit in future shall we. And stop calling people trolls as a defence when you want out of a scenario you've created, it's beneath you, Sir.
In all seriousness Babel, it's infuriating to many and as hs been eluded to, counterproductive unless "someone" calls it out. The result being FD get a mixed message back and the game goes nowhere [citation needed]. The false equivalencies and misrepresentation of people's "opinion" as "fact that needs to be disproved by those that hold the opinion", maybe because it's been "confirmed by a third party" that also seems intent on "disproving" the "unprovable" (ad hoc ergo propter hoc if there are any lawyers in the house)
It's no way to act.
And then you call others out for confusing you?
All good
Hope you're happy too.
PS: I'm still playing by the way, and I've not made any claims about you that you haven't about me already, so let's allow the Mods to enjoy their Crimbo, eh fella? If it helps, I won't report you for calling me a troll either.
So he doesn't need to. Do we really have to go over what the burden of proof is and why it lies by default with the one making the claim?
You could ask babel to substanciate his assertion that ED is succesful, but you can certainly not ask him to disprove something which you have not proven true to begin with.
Yes he does (or, you know...he doesn't on account of it being an internet forum). He cited opinion as fact. And once that was addressed, went back to the incorrect premise without backing it up. The very thing that...yadda yadda.
I just hope the pattern is clear now. Really it deserves a medal, I'm in awe.
Not least because the loop was even closed and re-affirmed out of context

Again, a false equivalency that no one was disputing and couldn't argue with if they tried. It's genius.
Seriously Babel. You obviously understand open system mechanics better than most. You should be helping out with 3.0, not making me giggle on here. Genius mate, really. It's almost like the conversational equivalent of driving a shield-less sidewinder into a speeding cutter trying to dock in open.
So no, I'm not "trolling". Being playful maybe, but bottom line, I'm actually praising your technique. It's inspired.
