Okay,If you think I'm nuts, then please let me know, but please give reasons, don't just say I'm nuts. Thanks,William
Depend why you dislike the designer. There are a couple of people I consider arrogant, overboard, and so enamoured of their designs that cannot see issues with them. I do not buy their games...There is a chap who I dislike for several reasons, but I have several of his games because there are good. There is a chap I like a lot... but his games are so-so... well I do not get his games...and so on, the list is long.As long:1) I am not supporting something I feel fishy (Valley Games KS anyone?)2) I am not giving money I am afraid it can be used for criminal activity (one Italian distributor is a former terrorist and I do not buy from his group... another one was even reputed to have sent fascist leaning group to beat competitors... I avoided business... but I had to play against him at a DBM tournament!)3) I don't dislike the designer because he is a turd designer...I can live with games of someone I dislike. Ehy I have ever read book of academics who had very unsavory characteristics...But I am a designer... so maybe I am part in this discussion... ahahahahah (I am also despicable according to some!)
For myself, I don't know enough about any game designers to have strong feelings about them either way.
You are not the designer in question. I have no reason to consider you despicable.William
Hmmm, sounds like the dilemma we can often have with music...
Oh sorry Westwaller, and everybody, I've just duplicated your point without realising you'd posted it.
