    He then said, “Playing a game without scoring — even if you suck at something — is so anti-human. It’s like scoring is part of your DNA."

    Gutfeld is so stupid man I can’t believe I used to like him

    Yeah a game without a scoring system is anti-human, that’s why we famously never play such games with our children. What’s your ELO in peek-a-boo, Greg? You absolute dweeb? Man I can’t wait to get back to my ranked play jigsaw puzzle at home. Can’t wait to beat my brother at D&D this week.

      I read the bottom paragraph as though it was a John Oliver segment and that just made it funnier.

      Greg Gutfeld’s the kind dude that stopped reading books when he got to be too old for the Book-It program and couldn’t score any more free personal pizzas at Pizza Hut.

      Getting rid of scoring in scrabble is definitely stupid. If you don’t want to keep score, just don’t. I don’t think I’ve ever bothered, but it’s still a game with a scoring system and plenty of people use it. Didn’t need doing. I don’t know which side of that argument counts as woke and I really don’t care.

        Kinda arrogant to tell people that the way they enjoy a game is stupid. It’s a good thing the new Scrabble boards offer this scoreless variant as a variant, while the opposite side of the board remains the same scrabble you’ve grown accustomed to.

          Oh, so it hasn’t changed at all then, it’s a non-story. Should have realised. Incidentally you’re mistaken, I said I don’t ever use the scoring system but that redesigning the game was nevertheless stupid, because you can already choose not to use it.

      I was going to check to see if Gutfeld even has children and, thankfully, he does not. Let’s hope it stays that way.
