Is A Machine For Pigs best suited to a 'mature' audience?

You make valid points, but I really felt the vocabulary was embellishment to cover up for a rather uninteresting story..

I think that's a completely bizarre comment, to be honest with you. So we wrote a story, looked at it, thought "Damn, that's boring - I know, let's pile on a load of poetics, you know, the stuff we got criticised for with Dear Esther, because we have so much contempt for gamers and fans that we think they won't be able to tell the difference" - really?
