My Amnesia Review Article!

Whoa, strawman out the wazoo. None of that responded to something I actually said. I have never claimed they have more objective opinions and you're the one that's getting into semantics about what does or does not constitute as a flaw. What I am saying is that a non-gamers perspective is a valuable perspective simply by nature of it being different than the common perspective - they will pick out what most game critics whose views are based on experience will gloss over as part of the medium. Because a non-gamer's perspective is rare (who writes about something they don't spend a lot of time on?) this perspective is more valuable than most game critics' is simply a matter of supply and demand.

And I disagree for the reasons specified in my post. I also think I am addressing exactly the points you brought up. Tell me: why are somebody's thoughts on completely irrelevant means to an end valuable? Just because they "notice" it? I think the opinion of people who have internalized it to the point where they can see the big picture, what all of it actually means, should be more valuable. Are you seriously saying non-gamers' opinions are more valuable simply because they are in more "demand"? Please, explain to me how that makes sense. I'm not saying the opinion of non-gamers is worthless, but it is certainly not more informed.
