I especially enjoyed when he said the following:

"Just because other games have no such concept, doesn't mean squat - other
than, well, I'm doing it the way it suits MY GAME and how it should work in
MY GAME."

Instead of listening to himself, maybe he should listen to what his
customers want (including critics). Then, and I'm just guessing here, more
people would consider buying his product. To add insult to his mental
injuries, I would recommend he go see a psychiatrist and attend a customer
service class.

Just my observations.
