No no no, I wasn't calling *you* elitist.
For example, almost immediately after my first post, "pepharytheworm" jumped on it with a "gamers who play retro games and not retro gamers" comment. That sort of snobby elitism almost always comes out in this sort of discussion. That whole "oh no, your choice is different than my choice, I must both defend my choice and insult you" thing comes out. It's boring, but also a form of snobbery that wasn't asked for.
Thats assuming I am calling myself a "retro gamer". I never try to make sure everyone knows how big or small my collection is. I post that in Gamerooms thread. My statement wasn't directed at you personally but all who only emulate retro games. If all we do is just state opinions without arguement or debates, how does a disscusion progress. Do you deny my statements that people who emulate do it for modern conveniece and because of the limitations of systems? Is not that why you emulate? Money is usually a factor too. If thinking people who only emulate on PCs aren't "retro gamers" but "people who like retro games" makes me an elitist then I guess I am. I guess whether or not I think I am better than anyone because of my opinions doesn't matter. I will also state again what I previously stated.
Now I do emulate to a point, to try things out or get translations, so I find nothing wrong with it as a personal choice. I would rather people emulate older games then not play them at all.
If anyone still thinks my comments were stating I was better than anyone I apologize
