For those wondering what that is in real numbers.

Well, Sanderson might be sort of unimpressive, I’m not particularly a fan though I do think he added a much needed jolt of fast paced writing to Robert Jordan’s work, but if there was a contest for biggest tool in Utah going on that day the Wired author would have won it by a fucking country mile. It’s like…

I’ve never read any of his work, but I do respect him for tuning the other cheek and telling the fanbase to chill. 

What about attacking the tastes of Sanderson’s family? Or his fashion sense? What do they have to do with his success as a writer or an entrepreneur, and what purpose do they serve in Kehe’s narrative?

“At the sentence level, [Sanderson] is no great gift to English prose,” Kehe writes. “He writes, by one metric, at a sixth-grade reading level.”

I kinda stopped being able to take this guy seriously when he started to talk about prose like he had any idea what he was talking about. Sanderson’s writing is clear, holds a personality, but keeps on point. That’s a big reason he’s popular, his literature is deeply accessible. Smart writers write so that others can…

I’ve been reading your comments. If you aren’t the author of the article, you think a lot like him and want people to understand his point of view.

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe in a loving, real, physically existing God (Jesus Christ) who is all powerful, not because he can break or ignore the laws of nature, but because he perfectly understands them. We believe in modern prophets, personal revelations from God, angels,…

The interview is brutal, but it seems completely honest. I've never read any Sanderson so I don't have a horse in this race, but he seems like a pretty boring guy to interview! He also seems very nice, which is a better quality than being interesting to interview. The Wired author may be nice to people they find…

... so, go write a shitty article on Wired about it why don’t you.

You gotta admit, at the end of the day, telling your fans to calm down and be nice in the face of such a (let’s be real) unnecessarily negative article is the BEST way to handle it. Keeps the heat off the article writer, even if only a bit, and has you prominently featured on the high road. Say what you want about…

I haven’t read Sanderson and it doesn’t sound like his stuff is my bag, but honestly, even if he’s “boring” there’s enough there that a better writer could’ve gotten a good piece out of it. Instead, it was an incredibly long blog post that shoud’ve been stopped by the editor. Maybe it was the sunk cost or a kill fill…

“He’s a fantasy author—of course he’s going to be an awkward dork.”

I suspect there’s the underlying and unspoken issue of Sanderson’s very public Mormon faith. I could see a journalist who just doesn’t like fundamentalist Christianity struggling to understand why people are attracted to a guy who tries to embody the most bland and personable aspect of it in his public facing persona.…

This Wired article wasn’t criticism, it was a hit job. The dude basically hated Sanderson from the get go and in spite of all the evidence that he’s a nice guy decided “hey fuck this guy”

Sanderson is best known as the writer of The Stormlight Archive, The Reckoners, and Mistborn series

man that article is weirdly brutal. like it really seems like the author had some other stuff going on and vented into their writing.

A I see. So if we are going by that logic, where is Spider-Man on Xbox? Or Wolverine? Or Street Fighter V? Or KOTOR remake? Or FF7 remake that Sony has PAID Square to not be on other platforms. Clearly a biased article and there are so many ponies here defending when the other side does it it’s hilarious.

How on Earth is this surprising or some indictment? Every 3rd party game released in last 10-15 has a reasonable expectation of being multiplatform. Microsoft bought the parent company for $7 billion. They can pick and choice as they please.

Buy an Xbox or gamepass. You can still love PS all you want, you just have to buy an Xbox or gamepass for your PC if you want to play games from MS studios. As a fan of Arkane that had to wait for Deathloop and a fan of Destiny that always missed out exclusive content, I don’t have much empathy for Sony fans feeling…
