This thread is so fascinating. I agree with the OP 100% and it's so strange to me to see the arguments against them.

Like, games as designed now are predatory. My kids get a game and are bombarded with shiny ways to extract more money.

OP's point on MMOs is that they provide servers and that means a monthly subscription and the only way (originally) to get stuff was to grind.

I think a second factor is a lowered expectation of immersion that comes with playing elsewhere. The author specifically says they can play in the pub waiting for friends or on the train or whatever. You're not as invested in those situations, so a game is more of a distraction than an experience.

Save yourself a click: they spoke French to each other on set, that is the whole article

Have a look at the degree requirements, you can see what looks more interesting: http://catalog.csulb.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=8&poid=3752&hl=%22computer+science+%22&returnto=search

The man is actually fighting a cult apparently so that's commendable

This worked ok. I read through the summary in under a minute.

I would say that the article I linked in another comment was definitely a better read, though.

Thoroughly interested in this. But why can't I just read it? I wish this wasn't a video.
