While I probably would have internalized your vitriol, I can't say it wasn't well-deserved. His statement that, "...at the end of the day it's 2016 and as long as things aren't stretched beyond recognition - such as a 3:4 game stretched to 16:9 - then it's okay" is particularly horrifying, and should sound major alarms to anyone who cares about how original game experiences are translated to future generations.
This kind of terrible thinking is particularly damaging on video serivces like YouTube through videos made by people who don't know what they're doing, their viewers who then believe it's ok because "everyone else is doing it", and the continued propagation of such nonsense.
