Oh, “fundamentally about exploiting” is just a “extra clause”? Hahaha.
Your sentence intentionally juxtaposed game exploits with ethics. If you disagree with that, you’re contradicting yourself and not me.
What’s left over is still the part I’m objecting to. Nobody developed their own notion of ethics, the community has the same competition ethics that practically any competition anywhere uses.
As far as I can tell, I did not… this is what I said:
> it’s very interesting to see how a practice that is fundamentally about exploiting generally unintended mechanisms within a system design still develops its own notion of ethics, legitimate and illegitimate exploits, etc
Removing extra clauses:
> it’s very interesting to see how a practice […] develops its own notion of ethics, legitimate and illegitimate exploits, etc
