Wow, what a story! Silas was an early game pioneer and even many dont remember his games they were inspiration for the very known games to follow. It’s said that he was dumped to the side, he could have been productive if he’d been given the chance. Capitalism is quite brutal with its workforce, especially the ones who reach a phase in their life when they need some help. Sad..
- ksaj 7y agoWhile there is that, I think also people in the industry didn't know what they had on their hands. While it was new, so was just about everything else about the games. Minds were being blown pretty continually as the gaming industry and computers themselves improved. There was no way of knowing Silas had basically invented the experience we expect for the entire industry from that point forward. Mostly, I think it wasn't obvious until the 90's - a full decade later.
