  The one thing more frustrating than "woo i'm changing the world" arrogance is "woo, i'm making a difference by helping the 'woo i'm changing the world' people get some perspective." If you don't like their arrogance, put them in their place by doing better.

    I've already done better. I've contributed significantly to the first draft of one of the human chromosomes. I've helped prepare parts for the LHC by cleaning them to remove contaminants, and I've made several open and novel contributions to science. I'm now working on changing a small area of society, but I don't make any arrogant claims of changing the world in doing so.

      LOL, one of the best come backs I've seen on HN :) I enjoyed 2048, but yeah it didn't change my life in the slightest. And every other "world changing effect" they ascribe to it, could more easily explained with the "butterfly effect", than the significance of this game. UPDATE: Downvoting with someone you disagree is fun, but try at least offering an argument.
