IGDA-Austin Microtalks, Scott Jennings, 8/21/14

Game players are odd. But not as odd as you might think. Scott Jennings argue that the ones who play massively-multiplayer (MMO) games are looking for a very particular kind of joy, one that ultimately might not have much to do with the game’s design, at least not directly. So what if the joy they’re looking for goes away? Intro features sample of “5 Lightning Bolt“ by Love Hz, from “POP RAMEN“, used with permission: Credits: Robert Swackhamer: photography,
