Of course. The Sims community is delicate. The forums are all ice cream and lollipop and rainbow unicorns. I read a whole thread about how unhappy they are about the existance of a "disagree" button on the forums... because you know it totally destroys all harmony to disagree with something...

Who are these "some people" I keep hearing about? And "video games" is a very broad generalization. If I saw my 50yo brother-in-law play a LeapFrog Explorer Learning Game, then yes I would wonder if he`s maybe too old for that video game... I find it hard to believe that in this day and age...

I have been playing mmos for 5 years now. The first 4 years were basically a test phase. First of all I found out that subscription-based is not for me. I prefer non-subscription with microtransactions. It feels like less of a commitment. And then it`s a matter of how well the publisher...

Double Fine asked for 400.000$ and got 3.300.000$ from the backers and they still ran out of money. Either the initial sum was waaaay off or they got too carried away while making it. Either way, somewhere someone forgot to hire an accountant.

I'd be very careful when it comes to Gameforge PR... what they call "player base" is most likely nothing more than registered accounts (bots, goldsellers, alt accounts and all) and not necessarily active players. So if they claim that the player base has doubled they probably count those who...

Not only in Germany, Belgium is unsurpassed with their selection of sauces to put on fries, truely astonishing. One thing I can't wrap my mind around is how people can spend money that isn't theirs and manouver themselves into a debt that they cannot possibly get out of again. If you can't...

Playing Bejeweled gets more fascinating proportional to the importance of the work you should be doing instead.

Tim Cain: "... is the opportunity to make an M-rated game. I think many publishers steer clear of that these days." *Lips involuntarily form the words "Thank you"*

I find myself disagreeing with gamers a lot who are approx. 30 years younger than me. That doesn't mean my brain is superior, it just means theirs isn't "done yet". Afaik that's the technical term.

Evil Genius... sadly. It would make me very happy if it had a sequel.

Just a couple of weeks ago Minecraft defeated me, well the Enderdragon did. There I was all decked out in enchanted diamond armour etc. and died from getting knocked into the void over and over until I got so fed up that I quit and deleted the save and my backup (which I reloaded countless...

Simple... forget about your list and instead play a game that you can't finish. Like SimCity or Minecraft. Cause there's a serious disturbance in the force if you feel compelled to game.

This scared me: "Windows 8, with its built-in Windows Store, challenges that revenue source. Features such as Xbox LIVE integration could make the Windows Store and Windows 8 a more appealing platform for gamers and developers alike than Steam." The most wide-spread OS with a built-in store...

Ebony in Skyrim. It's not a mineral ffs. It's a type of wood and thus mining and smelting it makes no sense whatsoever. But I can make ebony ingots and forge my own ebony weapons and armor. Grrrrrrr....
