Sadly that seems to be the case only for a select few.

I have never had any interest in games, but was in the past downright ignored 
with respect to sensible, useful, more and more urgent and while at first 
nice, polite, and respectful, later more and more forthright e-mails and other 
communication attempts regarding other aspects of gentoo. There's a certain 
overlap of persons with the games team involved. 

If you're part of a community you're expected to cooperate with the community 
(and stick to the rules of the community, but that's a different issue).

If you try to ignore everyone with a differing opinion and push your will 
through by just doing whatever you want, at some point you'll be so much in 
the minority that your opinion doesnt count anymore.
