>If you can't get checkmated then the games are just a series of meaningless homogenous states that you flail through.
This mentality becomes so obviously retarded once you apply it to anything besides combat encounters.
Imagine an big exploration-based game where you fail to get a collectable the first time around and there's no way to get it besides that. It would be incredibly frustrating and if you let such scenarios pile up it would only become worse and worse; in fact if you strip such scenarios of in-world logic they would feel even *more* bullshit, not less.
Seriously, the more I read about these guys the less seriously I feel I should take them.
