'...but then can step into their own "parallel reality" adventure game.'
great, so when we're escaping from our own reality and playing video games, we can then escape from the alternat ereality that is the video game, into yet another alternate reality. Man, make me wonder how some people are ever gonna find theyre way back without bread crumbs.
What I'm wondering though, is how in the world Garriot ever got away with a contract from EA stating simply a 1-year non-compete clause. They should have known that he was gonna jump right back into gaming. Since he was basically the biggest resource of epic, grandiose sized gaming, they're the ones who can't compete with him now. I've got confidence that while a massive game from within his imagination is still several years away, it'll be quite different from what else is on the market at the time. He did it once, and did it well. at the very least im interested to see what else he can do from here.
