Why does the story say "video game"? I wouldn't call Microcorruption a video game. Was this your word choice or something New Scientist did on their own? Or is Starfighter actually going to be something I would call a video game (instead of what I was expecting which was an experience akin to Microcorruption)?
- tptacek 12y agoThe term makes me flinch too. We're working on the best way to describe it, but mostly we're working on code, so we'll need some slack.
- dragonwriter 12y ago> Why does the story say "video game"? I would be because for a large number of people, including the people writing the New Scientist story, games played primarily on or with dedicated or general purpose computers are all "video games".
- fsniper 12y agobecause of that choice, my brain spam filtering just gave up on the story. If not for the comments here, I didn't know that it was about microcorruption.Maybe I should give it a chance.
