I don't quite understand the richness in playing Angry Birds or Farmville. Real life is not like these games and therefore, people are momentarily attracted by this alternate world. I wonder if real farmers would play farmville?
- cellis 15y agoWould real soldiers play Call of Duty?
- Apocryphon 15y agoAt the very least, real people do play the Sims.
- johnrob 15y agoThe point of these games is to have the farmers play Call of Duty and the soldiers play Farmville.
- cal5k 15y agoYes, they do. My brother served in Afghanistan (Canadian infantry) and they most definitely played Call of Duty during the lengthy periods between missions.
- sliverstorm 15y agoYea, I remember when there were sales restrictions on a certain FPS in some country, because it let you play as Terrorists and shoot at US Troops, it was the US soldiers there that were most annoyed because they wanted to play the game! I wish I remembered more about the story, to find a link.

If I recall, the biggest objection came because one could play as "The Taliban" instead of unnamed/ambiguous "terrorists."
