You and the author are both making the mistake of generalizing games as boring based on your specific tastes.

Unlike the author, I dislike online games, I want a more controlled experience. Unlike you, I dislike plot-driven games. I can't imagine anything more boring than watching a cutscene or reading dialog. The exception is something like Portal where the story is told seamlessly in-game.

"Games I don't like are boring" is hardly a subject worth writing a blog post about.

I believe that expressing an opinion is a perfectly merit-worthy reason to write a blog post, unless I misunderstand something.

Sure, you can write a blog post for any reason, but writing about something you are not interested in is probably not going to be interesting. Like when teenagers talk about why one genre of music is better than another. It boils down to opinion, there's nothing interesting to say there.
