People who quit a game/community are always trying too hard to talk about how the scene/game is dead/dying. Its pretty common and lame, to be honest. Playing the "wow you still play that game? lol" card is just a pathetic attempt to seem somewhat elevated from said community.
And no, I don't play DDR/ITG any more. Interestingly enough I don't think I still even played in 2004.
In my experience, the only people who talk down to a community as if it were old and outdated are the ones who never quite reached their competitive goals. Sad really.
Andrew won the vast majority of DDR/ITG tournaments that he entered while he played, and I won quite a few as well. Between the money that I won directly from them and the money that I got from selling prizes that I got from them, I in essence profited from being into dancing games, and made money doing something that I at the time enjoyed. I'd say I reached my competitive goals, so no, it's not sad at all really. :]
I wasn't saying it was sad for you, you weren't even saying anything. All I see is ah and ha. Of course I do not actually know the guy, but I have been a member of many different competitive gaming communities, and its always the same. Eventually someone gets discouraged from now reaching their goals, quits, and then acts like everyone is such a fool for continuing to play the game
( ... )
And props to reaching your goals. It seems so much of the DDR/ITG community is so bitter and insecure about their scores/ranking. But that's just the nature of competitive gaming!
