And being superior like you are isn't the way to do it. Acting like you are better than everyone so your views are naturally right and anyone who disagrees is stupid isn't the way to do things... and not true, either.
Are the people as a whole pretty stupid? Well... yeah, probably... people are pretty stupid when you look at it. But that doesn't mean everyone is, or that you are completely exempt, or that because you are better educated than many that you are automatically right...
I probably shouldn't get into it (again), but you lost that debate over the knight vs the samurai... not that I'd EVER expect you to even begin to admit it.
Oh. One more thing. I just don't see ANY justification to your statements that American strategy games are simpler and less popular. None... Well, OK, on consoles maybe... but the strategy genre barely exists on consoles, so thats not really a surpricse. But on PC? You're seriously going to try to say that Koei's games are deeper than your average PC strategy game? Yeah... right... PC strategy games may have many lighter ones among them, but some are very deep and aren't exactly a niche market... smaller than massmarket games, yeah... but just some small market that doesn't buy many copies? I think not. No, you GREATLY underestimate the appeal of deep strategy games here... and the appeal of a Fire Emblem game if it did come out here.
