Agreed. The things you mentioned and the fact that Clay.io is trying to bring the most annoying video game trends (social network integration, microtransactions, centralized achievements) to HTML5 makes me doubt that anyone who truly cares about the art form will participate.
- kranner 14y agoI can see how microtransactions and social integration might be annoying to you, but centralized achievements? Why is that annoying?
- Skoofoo 14y agoAchievements are generally a tack-on. There are many more interesting ways to make a player feel achieved through playing a video game. Using a centralized system makes them even worse because they break immersion. It's akin to your DVD player showing "Did you know?" popups throughout films you're watching for the first time.
- kranner 14y agoI don't agree completely but thanks for clarifying.
