This is such a joke. Elitist, even. Technology-sourced friction is not a great thing. Software that is hard to run does not improve the act of running it. It just prevents others from experiencing the same things you enjoy.

Are you really suggesting that you bond with fellow gamers because of how hard setting up the game was?

Yes. And in the scene I am describing we are being overrun with tourists because everybody is just so damn inclusive now. There's nothing wrong with elitism; it keeps things hardcore and gives newcomers something to strive for.

There's even less wrong with being "so damn inclusive".

There's nothing preventing these type easy-access browser based games from having "elite" servers for high ranked players.
