“They focus on the negative aspects of all these old games, which seems kind of mean, but is actually really useful to anyone who might think about playing one. If the points they bring up are not a deal-breaker for you, then that's a pretty strong indication that you might like the game. And they judge a game based on its own premise, even if it's some easily-ridiculed niche product, so that's nice of them.
It's also useful to anyone designing their own system, since it highlights many of the pitfalls to be avoided, and shows just how low the bar to becoming published actually is.”
