Yeah, it's a bit extensive(understatement), but that doesn't mean people aren't getting tired of it all the same.
My problem with it isn't even necessarily the unrealistic desires. So what. We all have dreams of crazy shit, and developers *should* try to push the boundaries.

My problem is his attitude, that these are not dreams but expectations, that games are shit and will be shit until his masturbatory fantasies are brought about, and that we're all a bunch of low-grade morons for enjoying what's out there right now.

This rambling manifesto reminds me of Orson Scott Card's recent vitriolic pieces of garbage randomly attacking Star Wars and Star Trek.

In short, the man is truly an asshat, and conveys that asshattery extremely well, and I find his writing insufferable.
