In it he addresses "high fidelity similulations" entering games, making them more flexible and realistic. It's an interesting read on the future of gaming."

future is free gaming by green+pizza · 2001-10-13 07:43 · Score: 1, Redundant

The current $50-a-game policy is about to implode and kill the entire gaming world. The future promises free games, designed by teams throughout the world, many of whom have never or will never meet each other. Internet colaboration and the spirit of open source software will soon merge to provide top-notch free gaming engines, games, graphics/levels, and mods. The future is bright.
