Really.. you think its strange that people would own a game they like?

Please take note that, as of right now, I think Star Trek is great and I don't own it.. yet.

Top 10, top 5, whatever you want to call it, I think its a great game and I want one. I'm about to order a premium. I know a few people that have the LE and for some reason they don't want to part with them, so NIB premium it is for me.

I think you should try playing the current code. That feeling of the level one modes all being too similar and dragging on is long gone.

Yes, and of course people who really love a game will defend their opinion of it. My point is just that most intelligent people (and I honestly think that is the vast majority of people around here) become, and stay, owners of games because they like the game, not the other way around. I don't think those feelings about the game are suddenly invalidated when they buy it either. I just think its a bit presumptuous to assume that owners usually defend their high opinion of a game just because they are looking for validation or to protect its value.
