To clarify, the question that I was responding to was
"Doesn't anyone provide a 'safer' environment?" to wit I responded
that Dr. Cat does the extreme of 'safer' meaning completely
non-competitive. I don't use the term 'violent' because the basis
of these games is not violence it is competition.
I think Dr. Cat knows better than to think that I personally am stuck in any
sort of ostrich-hood. I do think that his point about this list being
primarily composed of competitive game designers is completely
correct, but that doesn't make him unwelcomed I would hope.
