I guess I didn't understand this part:
Disadvantages include confusing the press (if you can’t quantify it, you can’t score it), and potentially catering to a tremendous, if loyal, niche.
Doesn't this site represent a tremendous & loyal niche of the gaming community? I realize that "we" are a blend of core and casual gamers (I have everything from solitaire to Age Of Empires with every available expansion pack) and tons of stuff in between. Still, I deeply enjoy the VV series and constantly reccomend it to friends and family.
Oh well, I guess I don't have to understand a Brain like Arthurs to enjoy it's creative output!
