Lately, I've purchased a new game named City Life. If you didn't hear about this game, it's just like a clone of Sim City, but instead of focusing on the city as an administrator, you focus on the city as a humanitarian and must agence everything so the six types of people who can come to your city coexist in peace.

I just can't stop thinking that I should even be insulted to have such a stupid answer served back to me, but then reality settle in... And I just can't pretend here, I'm not really surprised about all this. Not that I think that it's alright or even should happen in PC gaming to have developpers to even think that way... But y'know, I've been so disapointed by several points in PC gaming in those past few years that nothing much surprise me anymore. All I seem to get is a very bland taste in my mouth, memories of the golden age of PC gaming (which seem to have been around the 90's and never got back) and a fatality settling more and more in front of me: I must now be too old to continue to walk the path of the gamer.

Because I can. But have I just became with time too greedy with my gaming that I can't take an original game at the cost of having other parts of the game which are clearly out of date, like I've seen regularly in the past? Or is it really a problem that the producers decided to take out of the way by trying to make other people beleive what they think other people should think?

Truth is... I just don't care anymore...

Dude, you´re getting older. Adults are suposed to enjoy games, yet, but not as much as kids. When you´re a kid everything is colorfull and impressive, new and enjoyable. After youve been playing years of diferent games, both bad and good, the feeling just die somewhat.

I remember when I used to play a game for hours straight. Now I can barely do for more than 2. And I dont know if that is good or bad, but I just dont feel atached to the games anymore. Do I blame the PC Gaming Industry? Of course not. I just know its a natural process and, nowadays, it takes a VERY good game to grasp my atention. Which is great, because I´m tired of wasting time on crappy games (like I didn when I was a kid).

Now, if you ask me, the games are much BETTER than they were in the past. Just compare the newer games to the ones of the past. Now, they arent as original, but they sure are well developed. But, of course, sometimes our expectations grow far beyond what games can offer us, so we do end disapointed because of that.

And you really cant blame the producers of the games. There are so many apps, addons, programs and stuff like that avaiable that they cant deal with all the variables. When Firefox alone can have tons of addons, sometimes you cant prepare your game for everything.
