Seems as legitimate a definition as one given by a random forum poster. Even moreso?
I'll wait while you link me "Cash Grab" from the Oxford Dictionary Site or maybe link Wikipedia... I'd like to see that as well.
For the record, I posted the Wiktionary definition.
Which is a lot more valid then some random forum poster saying "my pocket dictionary it says" or talking about sites that I know don't have the info...
An undignified or unprincipled acquisition of a large sum of money with little effort."
Wiktionary is Wikipedia's dictionary sister site. You're talking semantics.
And if you paid attention, you would have seen that Wiktionary, directly uses the term "profit" not simply "money" and also uses the Term Cash Grab.
Anyway.. lets go with this one.. well.. anyone watching this drama festival unfold can tell that Caspian is undoubtedly putting a shit ton of effort regarding this.. so.. it does not fit the definition of "Money Grab" that you have provided.
So you would be wrong to use the Term "Cash Grab"/"Money Grab"
But hey.. this is the group of people that call anything they don't like P2W. So.. screwing up other terms comes as a surprise to no one.
Compared to, y'know, actually creating the MMORPG he keeps describing.... No, he isn't putting a "shit ton" of effort into it.
No.. no.. No.. no..
You don't suddenly get to pull qualifiers out of your ass and make up whatever like..That Does't stop gamers from doing it however.
Hence this asinine discussion of people not knowing how to use common words and phrases.
So.. again.. Sorting "Cash Grab" into that fun little category of phrases that Gamers can't use correctly... oh look.. the list is slowly growing.
I am not wasting my time engaging your willful ignorance and warped logic.
He supposedly has a team of folks. Running a fucking fundraising event isn't hard for a team of folks, and definitely isn't praiee-worthy.
BING BING BING.. we have a winner.. a fundraising event.
I knew you all could figure it out if you were not being willfully obtuse.
@MadFrenchie is not the person that comes to my mind when I read the word obtuse...
And yet.. he just spent several posts.. defending the wrong use of a phrase.. and then showed that he knew it was the wrong phrase, knew why it was the wrong phrase.. and even that he know what the right term was..
Typically... I'd call that a Troll, and just give him a 2/10 for exposing himself.
But you know, he seemed to passionate about what he was talking about, that.. it was not just trolling for the sake of trolling... it was like he believed or really wanted it to be a cash grab.
So maybe just... Making a Fool of himself for the sake of it?
I'd give him a "Blinded by Hate" token excuse.. if he was a backer, because as a fellow gamer, I am well aware that irrational hate will do a lot to impair someones ability to think calmly and logically.
I wish I could live in my own bubbled reality, too. I'd make it great, unlike yours.

Egotism is the anesthetic that dullens the pain of stupidity, this is why when I try to beat my head against the stupidity of other people, I only hurt myself.

Not nearly. Child's just mad because I disagreed with him here and elsewhere. Butthurt is a pretty poor response to that. That's advice for you and him both.
....apparently not enough to misunderstand what analyst in software development does.

So tell me, are you dumb enough to think that being a cashier means you are more qualified to run a store then having a degree in interpersonal communications?
An experienced cashier could run a small store, while an interpersonal communications professional could not.

All the dick waving over qualifications might have had some semblance of a point 2-3 years ago, but we are now at the point where we KNOW who was right and who was wrong. And at every step along the way, Caspien has been proven to be wrong. This isn't even open to debate...
I'm reminded of the classic scene from The Poseidon Adventure when the ship is flipped over and the Preacher is trying to tell people to come with him and the idiots shout that they are going to stay with the Bosun(Purser?) because "he was qualified"...
