You're being downvoted because you're literally complaining about a extremely common gaming term, that you've defined yourself btw, being used in a gaming website posted in a gaming community. It makes you seem like you're complaining just to complain, which is trollish behavior.

This isn't a powerpoint presentation going out to a group of people unfamiliar with the topic at hand so it's not reasonable to have them spell out the first instance of the acronym, annoying their target audience.

Next time, assuming you're being actually sincere and not a troll, just ask "Hey what does acronym "ABC" stand for" instead of just going and complain right off the bat. You know the old adage about honey, vinegar and flies.

Are you the author of the article? Jesus, for a community about games, you know, stuff that does not matter in real life, you people take things waaaaay too seriously.

I was tying to be nice and point out why you could have been downvoted but nope you've got to be an ass still so onto the blocked list you go.

Nice talking to you.
