The Bogost article is a joke by a guy who has made similar jokes before but it does not parse as a joke if you've never read any of his other jokes, which is probably the most offensive thing about it. I hope this isn't The Discourse for the entire rest of the day
It took me time and work to get the joke, but in the end I enjoyed it and found someone whose larger body of work I find entertaining and smart. It was successful for me on a personal level but obviously I think there's value in everyone being able to participate immediately.

And that’s where it breaks down for me as well. Is it successful as a Bogost piece? I think so. But in isolation, I’m not so sure. I guess it depends on who the perceived audience is.

Yeah, big agree here.

(Haven't read, looking from outside) From what I saw of ppl's reactions, it comes off as intentionally obtuse in a kind of way that revels in being obtuse for its own sake. And *that* in turn comes off sour, and kind of elitist? Almost like a word exercise more than a real point.

And of course, there's nothing actually wrong with playing with language, theory and discourse. I think people are kind of just plain tired of any hint of insincerity, or argument for its own sake, especially since it's in the context of a game that's such a simple joy.
