A very interesting editorial has appeared on Gamespy, entitled "Game Players are Spoiled. It deals with Everquest, and how players ruin the game with their attitudes. Controversial, but well worth a read:
So it might seem strange that I'm going to defend the developers of a game I believed, and still believe, to be nothing more than a glorified IRC channel with ugly textures and misshapen models (the new expansion sort of fixes these latter two problems, if you've got the gig of RAM necessary to run it well). However, the interview clips simultaneously amused and appalled me. I know that relations between Verant and its gamers are not exactly the best that have ever existed between a company and its customers... but the level of animosity that shows up just in a small sampling of "Fan" questions is remarkable.
And it's mostly the fans' faults. |
