Sure granddad, that's all very well if you're playing the classical time limit - but with the rise of fast-paced online play, the old way just isn't scalable. The big providers just can't afford it, so long as everyone expects their games to be hosted for free.
And so what if kids these days are playing a slightly different game - can't we celebrate the fact they're playing at all, instead of engaging in this elitist gatekeeping?
Without that “gatekeeping” the game would have descended into confused chaos, with no clear rules long ago. Maybe it’s time for change, but we should be grateful that there is still a game to play.
