[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 7388569"] Personally I think you and MarkB are reading too much of what you believe he is saying into it. As far as I'm concerned, I'm taking the statement at face value. The value of which to me is: We don't want to talk about this "action economy" thing the people who play our game talk about. -Pretty straight forward here. But seems to imply a fairly strange understanding of game design. This to me just sounds like ignorance about game design. There's no other way to put it. Actions [I]are[/I] an economic resource within the game. If they don't like that well...maybe they shouldn't make games? Because I really don't know how you make a game that isn't a free-for-all Calvinball that doesn't have [I]some[/I] form of action economy and resource management. If you believe there are things Mearls left unsaid, I would wager you tweet him to clarify, rather than injecting your own "what he really meant was...." [/QUOTE]
