Sure. He always had a paywall on his site, and has a Patreon now, and several editors. But, good job completely dislocating my point from the discussion with this quality remark.

Also, you misread me. When I said "the high culture surrounding it," I was making a distinction between the higher culture and the lower ones surrounding video games. Obviously the majority of people who play games are among the lower cultures, but this goes for everything, not just video games. The notion that there is no higher culture surrounding video games is the laughable one; you are really uninformed then, and you don't realize how many people are gamers and what kinds of people are, or what icycalm is currently contributing to the scene for future generations to use as a launching pad for something greater. Remember that we aren't even a quarter into the 21st century yet, and video games are barely 60 years old — more like barely 50 even, since they really only started to shape up starting in the 70's. But my guess is you are obsessed with some idea that video games are a laughable toy, and that's it, and can't mentally progress past this idea, for whatever reason. Rejecting people you haven't even read beyond a couple hours' worth doesn't help either.
