I sometimes like to play a little mental game, "what if I saw this exact quote but it came from a random Internet commenter instead of an industry person/celebrity?" It sometimes helps remove my emotional reaction to the statement get to the rub.
And in this case, if I saw this as a random forum comment, I'd actually be inclined to agree. As a consumer, the emphasis on marketable words like Rogue li[tk]e, Souls li[tk]e, dilutes my understanding of what you're trying to sell instead of sharpening it.
When are we gonna get the Fear and Hunger li[tk]es?
