Except for the Homeworld fan base, because we are totally right and everyone else are just dicks who have never experienced a good game.
I am interested in your definition of a "fanboy". What word would you use to describe stereotyped "fanboy" behaviour?
Trolololol. Also, I honestly haven't seen any dicks in the Homeworld fanbase, presumably because it's so small nowadays.
As to your question: I define a "fanboy" of a game roughly as someone who adores the game in question and is willing to defend it to the metaphorical death. If the game has flaws, a fanboy is either willing to ignore them or it is the polarising kind of "flaw" which half of those to have played the game hate, and the other half love (see: the Mako in Mass Effect).
