Hardcore: Stop having fun! Games are supposed to be serious!

[Mr Khan]

I'll grant that he's right to ridicule this gamasutra guy. "Fun" is the root of all gaming, quite simply. Nobody ever said that fun implied shallow, but everything gaming does has to be fun in some form or other, or else people will abandon it for more passive media. Gaming without fun becomes work.

 

But it was stupid of him to take it off and make it a love-fest for the businessman. Seriously? The guy trying to sell me a set of steak knives knows the ways of the world better than my Poli Sci professors? Doubt it.
