That brings up a different point that brings me a lot of frustration: The heavy reliance on references and continuity. References aren't inherently bad, but a product should be able to stand without them. Community is a funny show whether you get the references or not. Games (especially indie games) tend to fall into this trap a lot, especially in the form of memes. Some references are barely jokes, they're just stealing other people's material, like in 'splosion man where they steal damn near every one of Portal's jokes. These people are boring and unimaginative, and they deserve harsher criticism.
Back to the main point: My country doesn't have guns. I can't chastise people who do because I've never used one. If you haven't played a game, you can't judge it. Simple.
