Who decides what is valid or not? Ultimately that's a personal decision.

You keep going back to me having a problem with people critiquing rather than the strength of their critique. For the last time:
I have no problem with people analyzing art through any lens they like, but with industry context they have to be aware that not all opinions are valued equally.
Please read my Camero review scenario again where I explain more about the idea of legit, informed opinions vs people who miss the point.

None but the most strident would out and say they want something banned. Few people wanna be 'that guy'. So I'll just ask you directly:
Were you king of the earth, able to pass or deny anything; does GTA5 as it is right now exist? Does Dead or Alive 5 exist? Does Mortal Kombat exist?
