also thought about a particular game, my mind was left unburdened and free to simply enjoy whatever I was playing.I spend a lot of time writing Runescape games news, but I spend even more time reading it. I frequent game sites, http://www.rsgoldshop.com developer blogs and forums galore; eagerly absorbing every piece of developer blogs and forums galore information I can clap my peeper on. The result of that effort is knowledge, and the result of that knowledge is just as hurtful as it is uplifting. For every awesome story about an indie developer#146;s passion project being released is another story about $6 character skins, sketchy season passes or a company closing its doors. Back when I was only playing the Runescape games, I was blissfully unaware of all of the stuff going on behind the scenes. I#146;d play a game and think, #147;That was fun! I hope there#146;s a sequel!#148; Eventually I#146;d move on to other Runescape games and never even think about whether or not that sequel was ever coming down the pipeline. Nowadays, I#146;d hear the horror stories about how difficult it was to get that game to market, how broken the rushed product turned out to be in the end and how, after poor sales or mismanagement, the studio was shut down and that game#151;which the younger me would have probably played and loved#151;is dead in the water and more or less hated by all.Being a part of the greater gaming community only makes those feelings worse, especially since a very vocal portion of that community seems to be full of venom for no real reason beyond causing harm. I prefer to judge things on their own merit, with a controller in hand, but I know for a fact that my mind is frequently swayed these days by the way the rest of the community responds to something. I#146;ll be excited for a game that#146;s releasing in a few months, for instance, which leads to my digging up every article, preview and forum post I can find on the thing. I#146;ll see the latest trailer and think, #147;That looks pretty sweet.#148; Then I make the mistake of reading the comments only to discover folks picking the trailer apart, explaining why it proves a game |
