The thing is:
Would I be hyped to try and immerse myself in something like
Otherland's Net? Probably.
Would I want that thing to replace all conventional games of every genre? Hell no.
Besides: It will be a while before something even remotely close will be made.
Edit: Ah, Star Citizen... okay, have fun!
It's a good point, finally. What an honor thou bestowest me (along with the other majesty over there).
I don't want complexity to replace and kill simple games. I think i'd miss them too if all games were like Fallout, U7 and Deus Ex. I don't reason in B&W
Problem is, the "question" for immersivity is not even asked. Immersive sims aren't even near replacing conventional games, they're not even a thing.
So if you're afraid of endagering those, i'm wondering why we don't even want ONE simulation, we don't ask for complexity, let alone them replacing all games.
If you're free to fear for conventional fun games, and you can do it now that there's now not even a remote chance of their extinction, can i be free to fear for complexity not even existing as a thing, maybe disappearing AS WE SPEAK?
