Just like Diablo II gear… (Destiny)

But by doing all that, you lose the aesthetic enjoyment of the game…

As Cortana once said, she knows mathematically what a sun looks like, but not what it REALLY looks like.

I call bullcrap. Fun's fun, get over yourself.

If you are in it for the math, why are you playing with a piece of hardware and software that gives you auditory and visual feedback? Go play with a spreadsheet if you find that fun. But if you DO find that fun to the exclusion of the enjoyment of the game aesthetics, ask yourself why you are playing a video game at all. The immersion is the primary benefit to the video game over other media. It'd be like going to a movie and closing your eyes the whole time.

He didn't say he finds it fun to the exclusion of the game aesthetics, just that he finds it fun. What do you care, anyway? I can't decide how to best address the other point but I'm leaning towards "blind people can enjoy movies".
