One of my favorite games ever is Alpha Centauri. Unfortunately, I've grown tired of playing it and I'm hungry for the newest space civ sim out there. Why didn't you bother creating a sequel to this incredible game?
I am a technical writer. I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, that most of the elements of style are proscriptive bullshiite. Besides, writing for Law or business is not the same as writing for tech.
Come to think of it, movies haven't changed since the 1920's either. I guess that's why no one watches them anymore? Same with the boring, static genres of books. No one reads anymore, right? Dvorak is a moron without vision. The Game Industry has just begun its ascendance to the new, great medium of our age. Soon, with aid from Biotech and Nanotech, we will be able to Jack In to our games for an entirely different WORLD of play. This guy is like the announcer who condemned rock and roll back in the 1950's and he'll go down as nothing more than a soundbite from a boor.
Hey, the car hasn't changed since the 1920's. It's still a vehicle that gets you from A to B on 4 wheels. I guess that's why that industry is dead, right? belch.
The advent of open source will soon turn software on its knees. Who's gonna hire you when all the software is freely done by the people? Eventually, your only option will be hardware.
