Topic	Are there times you HAVE felt snobbish about Quality of life additions to games?
Lopen 06/24/22 11:52:49 AM #41:	Like the better hill to die on is whether using passwords/cheat codes given in the game is beating the game. Did you beat Contra if you konami'd 30 lives? Did you beat Mega Man 2 if you passworded to the end and only beat the wily stages. I would say in those cases saying someone didnt beat the game while using those is probably elitist (though with the Mega Man example I'd be like "but why though"). But game genie or savestates? Shouldn't be elitist. I don't think it's a healthy mindset to think that's elitist it feels more like a defense mechanism at that point. Calling someone an elitist in some ways is a way to invalidate their criticism. If the so called elitist is objectively RIGHT is it actually elitism or just reality? --- No problem!
