I'll make the same answer to Amanda and you.

My sentence was a bit too generic (as you can guess, it applied
chiefly to the debate at hand, namely SCS vs MCS).

There's a large difference between having a game that happens to be
attractive to some and unattractive to others, and making a game
that is specifically not attractive to a certain category of people.

When you add a feature, you add it for the specific purpose of
getting people. Most features will attract and repel people to
various degrees, and you don't pick a feature because it discourages
people. You choose it because you think it will please more people
than it displeases.

You never make a game expecting that people won't play it. Well, I
hope for you :)
