This article is excellent. There's very little good writing about videogames, and the comments section is the perfect example. For some reason, people see criticism of games - considered reading of the form and content of videogames - as a personal attack on their tastes. It's really quite bizarre. So when we do get interesting and thought-provoking work like this, people resort to ad hominem attacks and bizarre insults instead of actually responding to the content of the critical piece.

If we could make gaming criticism better and more widely accepted, we could actually make games better. Then we could get games that actually explore racism, rather than use it as a framing device for gun battles.
