I started ignoring the reviews (and I'd probably just like to delete my own at this point) when AVLE was getting piled on. I succumbed to defending the game which was probably not completely productive. I own it. I enjoy it. I hope that others might have the opportunity to try it to see if they have fun playing it. If they don't, oh well. Play something else. Have fun. That's all.
When money and ego start to matter more to you than the fun and friendship of the hobby, then it's time to hang it up.
The reviews were useful when I was a newbie. Then, they became an annoyance and a point of conflict. Now, I'll just just take honest comments as interesting but make up my own mind whether I like a game or not.
