[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 1344131, member: 2205"] According to who? It was juvenile where I played it. It was a fad amongst young teenagers and pre-teenagers. Of course it was stupid and juvenile. And what's the false dichotomy you're mentioning? What dichotomies, for that matter, are you referring to, false or otherwise? Or is that just an attempt to use a big word to advance your "argument?" Sure, the game itself didn't have to be juvenile. Nothing about it was inherently designed that way. But that's not really the point. Nothing about the initial post in this thread has anything to do with mechanics or game design. It's absurd to talk of them not evolving or progressing. Sure, it's equally absurd to suggest that they are evolving into a "higher form"; but they evolve, you betcha. Nobody except diaglo is interested in a game like the original games because the games themselves have evolved to match the evolution of their market. :rolleyes: No, it's not. And it never was suggested that it wanted to be. [/QUOTE]
