that thing turned epic! are you a game programmer in r/l ? or a sociologist? a real question, not a joke one
I have worked as a game designer in the past, but not long enough or with enough success to claim any kind of authority.
i was amazed at how much of your post i agreed with. all of it. I was also amazed at the mean tone a lot of replies had. (*sigh*) please don't take it personally, i think it's a sacred cow thing to some - and public cheerleading attracts new backers (*double sigh*)
