If proliferation leads to an enriching of the variant playing experience,

another game joined into a pile of other games, then this isn't helpful
at all. It ends up being yet another voice squawking for attention.
Rather than enrich the play area, it distracts.
Not only do I completely disagree with these comments, I also find them highly offensive. There is no need for a larger framework, and if someone creates a new game that people enjoy playing that is good enough. New games do not have to fit into a larger framework to have value.
