Yeah, duh! Everybody knows that! We're not doing it for seeing little numbers add up in some remote corner of the screen. We're doing it to see little numbers add up in a character info tab. Fucking morons!TFA wrote:This is one we’ve heard over and over again, particularly in reference to Grand Theft Auto: videogames reward you with “points” for doing horrible things, like beating up hookers, killing cops and running over pedestrians. Not only is this untrue, but the thinking behind it is outrageously insulting. To condemn a game for awarding points is to assume that gamers – and particularly children - do things for the infantile thrill of seeing little numbers add up in some remote corner of the screen.
Excellent article, actually. I sent it to my parents (who play games), and father-in-law (who trolls democrats on the Internet and watches Fox News all day).
