I think the biggest issue with this discussion, and with a lot of discussions today in general whenever the topic is about making things “better” for a group of people (in this case players in a 20 year old elf-sim game) is the amalgamation of two contradictory concepts when it comes to equality.
There is equality in opportunity:
I want a shot at getting pixels.
There is equality in outcomes:
I am entitled to pixels.
Let’s use a familiar model to illustrate how this quickly becomes an impossible debate. Equality in opportunity is Apples, equality in outcomes is Oranges.
So on one side you have people arguing that we should let people have Apples, and on the other side you have people arguing that we shouldn’t let people have Oranges.
And both sides get angry.
Cheers,
Astuce
