BTW, BBC did a delightful article on the subject, advocating that this is worthy of culture appreciation

"The achievement is real, but the importance is far beyond the realm of classic arcade games and those who love them. What Gibson did, and how he did it, gives general lessons for how people learn, and how the limits of human performance are extended."

@RubyCarbuncle sounds like a "you" problem. I can't shred like Jannick Ders but I still play guitar (pretty well). I'm no Roger Federer but I still play in above average local tennis leagues. I'm no mitch flower Power but I still run Mario 3 pretty fast. Are you asking everyone who plays a game at an extremely high level to consider your feelings before they play?
