Didn't see any overzealous posts (but then I don't follow the comments very closely). The good about those two games is that they A: bring new people into the genre, and B: show what most roguelikes could really do better: UI.
Imagine all the great classic roguelikes (including Dwarf Fortress) as easy to play as DoD. I'd never buy a 49€ game again.
I happened to be on at the time a particular grumpy individual started posting the same comment repeatedly every minute... if I hadn't, you'd probably see another 50 identical comments in the thread.
Andrew you should be flattered - nerd rage is only aimed at those with renown :)

ReplyDeleteDang Andrew I have these comments sent to my gmail account so I did see all of those comments. Nearly indecipherable but I go the point.
ReplyDeleteHard nerd rager.
