The negative connotation has always existed for some. For others it carried and still carries a positive connotation. However, it is interesting that some of those who view it negatively are the ones who seem to oppose its specific use, support its abuse to the point of obsolescence and then claim they wouldn't use it. Interesting but not surprising. One would think that if they had no interest in using it, they wouldn't put up such a fuss about it unless their goal was specifically to damage its usefulness as well as any game to which it was applied. Is that the case here?

That is, in effect, broadening the term because it's then being applied to a wider range of games and feature/policy sets.

Original Use: Applying to games with the clear definition of possessing 19 characteristics, a total of less than 3 dozen games since the term was coined.

Different Use: Applying to more than those 31-32 games and therefore conceivably applying to hundreds of games without any clear definition.

How is that not broadening the definition?
