遊戲越來越簡單了嗎?
Are Games Getting Easier? (Tom’s Hardware Guide)
This shift in emphasis - from how the game plays, to how the game looks - is a huge threat to the entire gaming industry. We need a healthy number of games that still stimulate gamers intellectually.
作者指出現今許多遊戲的問題，注重絢麗的畫面而不是遊戲的耐玩與挑戰性。這個話題也一再出現在每次主機大戰的討論中。
There has to be some kind of compromise that we can reach. We certainly need those casual gamers to add to the mix of the gaming community, but we can’t let them dominate the kinds of games that are released. There are still a large number of us who want gaming to be more than a short burst of fun to kill the time.
而主要原因還是市場的導向，casual gmaers 永遠多於 hardcore gamers。
