    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.

        You can still play Scrabble the original way and no one will stop you.

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