I got to thank you for making me aware of his work by tweeting about the current essay a week or two back. I’ve loved reading day by day along with his other essays.

You're very welcome, glad you're enjoying it. Even when I don't agree with him, I always find his writing bracing and provocative in ways that help me better understand my own appreciation of games. And IMO, that's the best thing that criticism can do.

Yes! I described his writing to a friend as “elegantly incendiary”. It’s made me think a lot about my own approaches.
