Sure they do, but they don't disparage people who enjoy graphics as "the eye candy crowd". The term "eye candy" is innocuous, so is the word "crowd". However, place them together in the context in which you did and those words amount to only one thing...an insult. Re-read what you wrote.

They have every right to that opinion, and I have every right to be horrified by it and think that it's terribly wrong.

No, but you certainly keep implying as much with us this "us" and "we" and "great numbers of us" stuff. It's a commonly used tactic by people who want others to believe that their argument carries more weight by virtue of its overwhelming popularity, even when it doesn't.

And you know this....how, exactly? You mean, Markus hasn't proven he possesses the ability multitask in the past? Why would you assume that if one is worked on, the other automatically gets neglected? I simply don't see this as a zero sum game.

Maybe, maybe not. However, I do believe that once this feature is implemented fully and properly into the game it will enhance the gaming experience for many, including some of the people here complaining.
