message: The term 'brick buster' should remain as a replacement for the old school terms 'Breakout-style game' and 'Breakout-clone'. While the latter term is acknowledged as a socially accepted label for the genre, it's also borrowed directly from the video arcade game Breakout, which was the first notable game of its genre. In a sense, it's like stating that a game is a Super Mario-clone, because it features certain characteristics that are notable to a Super Mario game. While this example may be accurate in multiple cases within the video game industry, it doesn't define the game's specific genre, which likely would be categorised as a platform game game or an action-adventure game. On the other hand, the modern term 'brick buster' is a direct reference to the specific genre itself, as opposed to referring to the game as being a clone of something else. The term is also referenced as an official genre label by Big Fish Games. In that sense, it provides the genre with an independent and appropriate label, that only remains to be acknowledged and adapted into the general consensus of video game genres. –I has unique username (talk) 20:16, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

message: In the light of recent edits, there have been conducted some alterations to the article's style of writing, that do not respect the style of the original context. Primarily, these edits only conclude to changing specific words or adding superficial details, that objectively do not appear constructive, when compared to the previous writing. This kind of editing may be considered as nitpicking, as it does not serve to improve the quality of the writing, but instead seeks to change its appearance. As a reader and editor, one has to remain objective about whether something requires to be edited or not, as opposed to approaching an article from a critical view of looking for errors, or acting on a feeling of need to be involved.
In this particular case, it ought to be considered that article in its entirety was originally written by one author, succeeding a stub of two introducing paragraphs. While this alone does not grant the contributing author any special privileges, being a Wikipedia article that is open for everyone, one should consider how the article was written as a whole, adhering to a red line of coherency, that seeks to maintain readability and contextual integrity. So before making an edit, please consider if it really is objectively constructive, and not a desire to manipulate the contextual style of writing for personal gratification. –I has unique username (talk) 18:33, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
