Article is spot on, I also agree that OOTP and the rest of the baseball games exist is slightly different universes, as you pointed out. I also think there is a pecking order in this hobby still but not as much as in the past. Strat and APBA over everything else, Tabletop games over Digital Games, Conventional Digital Games over OOTP. I don't advocate this but that is how it seems in the community
I play OOTP and use sim games.
