Its a dumb concept typical of people who have not done any basic readings on the subject of motivation in games. Go play it. Tell me how compelling it is to have the game arbitrarily pulled out from under you by the actions of other players and then come back and tell me how wrong I am - that the gimmick of this being…

Well, if the kickstarting involved literal kicking, I’d go for it.
Nobody reads the fine print. I just clicked accept terms so I could get to the overhyped Molyneaux game!
Peter Molyneaux is a myth, I don’t believe he exists. He’s a ghost-story used by parents to keep their children from going into game design.
Hey, that baby just bought some meth!
Fine. It has value as a performance piece. Not as a game that I would have any interest in participating in. YMMV.
Thats a good point; it has been done successfully in games like Left4Dead, but that was coming from an experienced studio with a lot of resources.
Yes, and that means they are too emotionally involved in the material to be able to be unbiased and skeptical about how such a mechanic will actually play out.
There have been games that once they were played they deleted themselves so they could not be played again. This is the exact same thing in a multiplayer form.…
No I make my decisions based on all available evidence. Now what decision are we talking about? I’m not planning to buy this game *right now* because its not at all compelling. If it ever becomes compelling, chances are I will be too late to get in on it because everyone will have griefed the servers and it will be…
Good for you, thanks for answering a question I didn’t ask.
Go read any book about game design and you’ll have a whole plethora of player motivations beyond ‘feel impotent to affect outcomes.’
That presumes this game has a plot beyond ‘you’re it’. You probably pushed the button in reddit too.
Yeah, usually the servers shut down because everyone STOPS playing.
These are the types of concepts design school students toss around as innovative class projects because they can’t be arsed to either think about what games are actually supposed to do, or read a couple post-mortems on gamasutra. We know exactly how this game ends, it ends with multiplayer being summarily turned off…
After dozens of similar articles, about people beating Demon’s Souls with a guitar hero controller, I am with each new exploit becoming progressively more put off by the idea that I should even care that someone did it with a different game and a different controller. How do I block these from my feed? Do you think a…
Larger semiconductor junctions because of older lithography techniques are less vulnerable to atomic size tracks being left in them by cosmic rays, they just have that much more material redundancy before they depolarize. A modern transistor on a memory chip has a countable number of atoms along the PN junction, a…
Wow, nobody ever put a general purpose chip in a spaceship before.
“ you also cannot prove he didn’t steal these ideas. “
It will be an unpopular opinion, but I’m glad somebody said it. ITS THE TRUTH.
