It's not the first time he doesn't understand why people enjoy certain genres of games just because he doesn't personally enjoy them. He strikes me as someone who wants to make games his way disregarding player preferences and feedbacks and the psychological basis behind the gameplay loops, he just likes to scoff at 'popular trends' like a fedora neckbeard
I'm kind of ok with that because if he gets off his ass and actually puts his autism to work building the perfect game for his own tastes it'll probably be a really good product for the tiny market of people who have the same tastes as him. That's more of what we need frankly, opinionated people who know what they like and are willing to disregard everyone else in order to build their magnum opus. Trying to get something to have mass appeal is how you get the never ending torrent of gray sludge that the industry churns out these days. Fuck that noise, give me the phone booth full of developers who know what they want to build and are gonna do it regardless of if it has mass appeal because those are the guys who are gonna make something good. You might not enjoy it, but for the people who do enjoy it, it'll be a grand work.
