I especially appreciate the fact that you offer helpful solutions - something most people who complain about the often toxic online environment don't bother to do.<BR/><BR/>I wonder about your statement: "Call of Duty: World at Peace just doesn't have that special something to get people excited." I'd like to think that with the right designers and the right innovative approach, such a game could, in fact, be just what the doctor ordered. I admit I may be overly idealistic here, but I hold out hope that games can address social justice issues in compelling ways if designers commit themselves to building interesting interactive experiences around these themes.<BR/><BR/>You're probably right; but I don't want to give up on the idea that such a game could be made and could be great.Michael Abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14437378247420941499noreply@blogger.com
