Letting fans add their own little stories to a game is really cool, but there’s always a chance it might go... awry.
Everyone knows his name is Zelda.
Yeah, I feel the same way Patrick. In fact I think many of us do, which is why MM's reputation seems to have aged like fine wine. When it came out it was just another Zelda game with cool transformations, maybe too few dungeons, and a random antagonist. But now we're like: "Holy shit, this game is about people and…
lol I know :) did you check out the Moms Against Gaming Twitter? Fire with fire as they say.
SJR is an utterly transparent GG troll who goes around the kinjasphere making inflammatory straw-feminist/straw anti-GG statements such as calling for all video games to be banned. Look at their history.
I see you're on the right side of history. If you haven't already please check out this righteous voice against games and gaming. They preach the hard truths about gaming necessary to improve our society. https://twitter.com/momsagainstgam
Good in theory, complete failure in practice. And suspending an account? Useless. As all trolls know and prove, making endless new accounts is a quick and simple process.
GamerGate is just a joke in my book. Though they have shed some light on some odd behavior within gaming journalism, it hasn't been much. Most of it is just a rejection of critique on their favorite games. They have gone so far as to defend Jack Thompson, a disbarred lawyer who made it his life goal to ban the sale of…
Seriously. I know some women have had their lives forever affected by the bullshit GG pulls, but overall I think they're resulting in a net positive for feminism, and that kind of blows my mind. Thanks, Gamergate!
Gamer Gate has achieved nothing it claims to have set out to achieve. They have however jump started thriving careers for women they wouldn't stop (and still won't stop) violently and incessantly harassing and threatening. Also, they have led to action such as this which makes the Internet a slightly safer place.…
'I don't want to play this, so why should they even bother come out with it??'

You don't have to buy it and it is only $2 so I don't really understand why you are whining about it.
Agreed, I think it's a pretty interesting concept. I'm going to check it out as well. Depending on how it's handled, being engaged in a character's inner monologue could be a pretty powerful plot device. Hopefully it's handled sensitively enough to get the player thinking and empathizing, because I could see it…
The concept itself is actually really interesting. Delivery matters a ton though, I might give it a try.
I have a feeling that these things would be great as viral flash games, but you can't really get me to fork over even a little bit of money for something that isn't going to be more than a one time experience. I'm really liking some of these concepts that are happening, I just think that if they had a grander vision…
