With his passing, please read the article posted here: http://reason.com/blog/2013/04/04/the-time-roger-ebert-dismissed-video-gam  and tell us your thoughts on the matter. Do you agree? Do you disagree? - Most importantly, tell us why you have taken the stance you post in 300 words or more.

As always, responses should be both thoughtful and considerate.
