I guess this should make me really angry but yeah... I dunno its like, what do you expect from a second rate channel that has its primary fans playing the newest iteration of GTA 23: Alaska version. If they wanna rip on these games and make fun of them well that is certainly their perogative. While I totally disagree and love beatmania, para para, and all of these Japansese music games, that is also my opinion. Thats the beauty of freedom of speach. If you don't like what x-play has to say, don't listen to them.
If you don't like what they have said and feel strongly about it, do what the original post advocates. Let your voice be heard. You have a voice too. Rip on them for being misinformed, infantile, whatever. That is only fair. But saying things like "they should be sued" and stuff like that is kinda out of line. They have a voice too, it's just they chose to use it in a pretty ignorant way.
Either way I guess you have to take this stuff with a grain of salt. If these games were popular in mainstream America we probably wouldn't have sites like Bemanistyle and wouldn't need to congregate about the niche games we love like this. No big. I don't expect most people to understand why I like the games or the music involved, most people are content to listen to their rock or r&b music, heavily american, and thats totally fine. I guess the thing I'm trying to say is, play it cool
