Comments on: If Gamers Ran The World – my talk from Gamecity ’08, now online http://infovore.org/archives/2008/11/24/if-gamers-ran-the-world-my-talk-from-gamecity-08/ a weblog by Tom Armitage Mon, 06 Feb 2012 22:42:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Glenn http://infovore.org/archives/2008/11/24/if-gamers-ran-the-world-my-talk-from-gamecity-08/comment-page-1/#comment-123984 Glenn Sun, 30 Nov 2008 15:11:12 +0000 http://infovore.org/?p=1941#comment-123984 This is an incredible piece of commentary, and I am struck by how tactfully you answer the question gamers have heard for decades... "What are you getting from all that time spent in front of a screen?" In recent years, as life has become increasingly demanding and my budget has become even more stretched, I have not had time for video games. I still retain an interest in the social impact, however... even if I don't have the latest systems, I continue to recognize that to millions of people, this medium provides more than "just a game." Excellent work... I look forward to reading more by you.

I still retain an interest in the social impact, however… even if I don’t have the latest systems, I continue to recognize that to millions of people, this medium provides more than “just a game.”

Excellent work… I look forward to reading more by you.
