Now that I actually think about it and wrote this down its not surprising at all. The masses don't care how bad the final product is, as long as its cheep(in this case free). There is always going to be a smaller portion of the population that demands the high quality goods. I just hope the proliferation of McGames doesn't negatively effect the development of real games | ||

He's mad because mcdonalds is worth more than any 'good food' restaurant chain for the simple reason that it's quality, to him, makes it unworthy of being in such a position. If that isn't elitist I don't know what is. | ||

That's not impressive, Rupert Murdoch has been doing that for years. Zynga is not the first to be doing this, or even the most successful. I don't know if you've heard of this, but there's this game called "World of Warcraft", it makes a little bit of money. | ||

EA masses a ton of games, many are shitty but by force of numbers it's practically guaranteed that a few will be halfway decent or better. These will allow EA to persist for decades. Blizzard is meticulous and tries to release only the highest quality games at a slower rate, but eventually it will slip up at a crucial time, be unable to deliver the next thrill, and be gone forever. Most likely EA or Zynga or fucking Sid Myers will pick up the intellectual property pieces and make shitty games with them. source: my sick twisted fancy. | ||

WoW != farmville/mafia wars. It takes a lot more of a dedication to play it, and it is a different approach to gaming than farmville or mafia wars. Its one of those games that people do enjoy messing around on, but thats really the only similarity. | ||

the game industry's passion died a long time ago as far as i'm concerned. as long as someone keeps making quality games in some capacity, i don't care who is making the most off of the dull ones that everyone consumes mindlessly every few months. | ||

The WoW hate has got to stop tbh. It's a pretty decent game which in its original form wasn't catering very much for casuals. It has later turned out that way, but give the game some credit for what it was - the developers who were on-board back then deserves it. And sadly, the western society has turned out to be more and more about catering to the lowest common denominator - just take a look at tv-shows like "dancing with the stars", "X-factor" "America's got talent" or really any reality show there is out there. | ||

I never said that he couldn't dislike the games or think other games are better. But being mad because it's successful, imo, is elitist. | ||

Its not about having your own opinion, or not liking something, its the way you approach it. Saying, "McDonals is popular but I dont like their food because I believe it to be low quality" is a different satement than "McDonalds doesn't deserve to be popular because their food is cheap, low quality and appeals to the idiot masses". One is voicing your own opinion. The other is voicing your own opinion while stepping on and demeaning others who you see as lesser than yourself. Like for example calling people who enjoy those casual games "idiots". It is about being able to accept that people have different tastes, not freaking out because not everyone in the world is in a love affair with Starcraft, or more standard games. | ||
