what are they saying about me? I said no offence, just playing devil's advocate here, sorry if I made anyone unhappy.
Well, you didn't make me unhappy but if you read your last post closely you'll see that you don't really have arguments, except your allegation that Bill & Matt only copied what they found on "teh internets".
A good devil's advocate should at least deliver some arguments to make the audience at least consider his standpoint, though. A good DA is a person that offers another perspective.
Comparing Vintage Games to RTB and saying that the latter is deeper or more intelligent is neither valid (the books are clearly different in concept) nor particularly clever (did you see how many sources Montfort & Bogost cite in RTB's appendix?).
Conclusion: You clearly wanted to provoke and you failed.
