Next time you title your thing "X Wars, the game" please provide an actual game to play, not an article. False advertising :(

- lgp171188 14y agoThat is the exact reason why I opened the Hacker News page from my feed reader!
- yozmsn 14y agoYup me too, I was expecting some sorta HTML5 game featuring a MOZ - WEBKIT showdown, I was okay with the article (it reflects for the most part the issues with have a company like google create things -- they're really good at it and they just destroy competition with their awesomeness, within 5-10 years we'll be using our Gglasses while being driven by our Gcars to our Ghouses and ordering from the G(restaurant).) but it would be nice if someone could whip up a game just for some closure! PS I just hope Brin likes Gyros as much as me!
- sfink 14y agoI honestly apologize for that. My post grew out of a thought I had that if someone wrote a sim-type game about the Browser Wars, then it would be a lot easier to demonstrate to people the ramifications of the forces at play. The only way to figure out a winning strategy would be to analyze the incentive structure, and from that predict the other players' moves. Sadly, I omitted that background from the post, leaving only the title behind as a hint. I agree that an actual game would be cooler and relevant to a different audience (namely, you and the others I suckered in to reading my post due to the title).
