No. But I was born many years before the brand or even the idea for the video game was conceptualised, thus never had the experience of being born into a world where the brand had refined brainwashing kids into being good little comsumerdrones. I saw it for what it was from the get-go and decided to only interact with the core games, as in spite of their very childish bent, they were still interesting enough, with creature design appealing enough to keep me coming back. That the devs now acknowledge the adult players, even if they don't slavishly bend over backwards to accommodate them is better than back when I was a teen and the older gen who clearly did play in Gen 1 were outright ignored by time Gen 2 came around for a re-tread of RG.
Man up or move on, there's no chance of getting your kiddy toy shilling JUST at you any more. It's up to you to decide if you liked the thing because of what it did or liked it because the way it did it to you.
