Think for a bit about your sentence and what it implies :)
(solution: that you've seen 100% of all great games ever submitted to the app store, which seems doubtful)
- philsnow 11y agoNonsense; the statement is true if he has seen exactly two games, both of which were "crap" and both of which failed.
- ectoplasm 11y agoThe statement is also true if he hasn't seen any games. It's just an anecdote about his experience, that's fine.
- emsy 11y agoThis is logical nitpicking and I don't even think you're right. It just implies that of all the games I've seen no great one failed. A game can be great by an arbitrary measure and still fail comercially.
- rsaarelm 11y agoIt is falsifiable though. All you'd need is for someone to notice that a game that has been lingering in obscurity for years is actually great and start bringing attention to it.
- Paul_S 11y agoThere many games that only achieved success years after release (for example Psychonauts). It's the same thing as with films (my favourite: Blade Runner).
