Anecdotally, I really enjoyed Rogue Legacy and objectively, it was an extremely successful game that has a high rating both from professional reviewers and community reviews [https://www.google.com/search?q=Rogue+legacy&oq=Rogue+legacy]. Unless you were there or know people who were, saying something like, "because they think..." will not go far at ycombinator (from what I've seen).

I don't write my comments to appease people here, if they don't like them then so be it, that isn't a goal of mine.

Rogue-like games plague the Steam store [1], though there will always be games like Legacy that rise to the top of their category. You could say Candy Crush is an objectively successful game too, but I see it as a micro transaction laden piece of trash.

The reasonable statement to make from all this is simply that you don't like rogue-lite or rogue-like games.

The claims you made beyond that are invalid

> You could say Candy Crush is an objectively successful game too

Surely... Though, you can't point to community and critical acclaim like you could with Rogue Legacy, which is why they were linked and why the other poster was suggesting you back your statements with evidence. It's less so for people to like you or your comments and more so for people to gauge the veracity of your statements...
