¿Question #3805?
wiley1za: Do you read strategy articles or participate in strategy discussions of particular games?

ZeroZilla: Never. If I want to pick up strategy without working it out in my head, I will obseve while more experienced players contest the game without me.

CortexBomb: I try not to, I think articles destroy the exploration aspect of games, which is one of the things that I enjoy them for. I just look at a parallel, and IMO Magic really started to deteriorate when online deck and meta discussions started becoming common...I try to avoid articles on Euros for that reason, because not discovering saps the sense of fun for me
chaddyboy_2000: I don't read strategy articles very often. I don't really care if I win a game with a good strategy; I'd rather just have fun playing.
skelebone: No, though a general strategy is nice, I'm not too intense as to read too deeply into strategy.
sos1: No
Spielfreak: sometimes
