So any consumer of content deserves simply scorn and
ridicule?
That's not what I said--please don't put words in my mouth. I did not expand my definition to include any consumer of content, and I did not suggest anything other than that developers have no reason to view their target audience as anything other than entities paying for their product--they have no reason to see them as people with feelings and emotions, they have no reason to see them as independent creative beings, they have no reason to see them as anything other than actors in a marketplace.
Forgive me for not according to gamers qualities that on the whole we can't know.
(and, hazarding a guess from your username: come now, what would Heinlen say about your imprecision of argument?)
No imprecision here. You scorned the users for being consumers of "carefully curated" content. I guess the only way I was imprecise at all was that I didn't cater for you respect of those on "non-carefully curated" content, but given how incendiary the original was, I figured this was just splitting hairs. But you still didn't answer the question as to why not just be open about your position.
