The guy is using “Sword World” as an example, but it chimes with conversations I was having about the recent TOR kickstarter, levels, deluxe editions, decorative add-ons etc are just getting into just consumerism over getting the stuff that is actual useful for games

I like to know which I'm reading, and there are some guys -- Dave Thaumavore -- who do a poor job of talking about games they haven't played, but there are plenty of people who do good reading reviews.
But guys who act like they understand it as if they played it but don't understand it suck.
