I was just coming from a different angle and refering not the the cited article, but to the people making the Epic Fail comments in the first place. I wouldn't agree with the elitist tag though perhaps some are. It's probably much more a case of disappointment breeding bitterness. I know I've been disappointed a few times by the failures of eagerly awaited games, you feel let down. @Windpaw -- yep, that's gossip and always a good way to direct attention away from our own failures. But like I said above, anger and bitterness play a part too. There's a lot of that on gaming forums! @Tesh — absolutely.

Let's face it - failure is becoming more and more of a social lever. Can't find something to talk about to strangers - talk about the failure of others. Businesses, political and entertainment personalities, friends, etc, etc. If it bleeds it leads - and if there's failure - there will be blood!

In fact, I suspect that they want to remove the "epic fail" terminology from the common language precisely because it is an impediment to learning. Those who rant and whine about "epic fails" (not "failures", as would be proper English) are typically leet speaking elitists who want to condemn, not learn.
