Games now serve no purpose to many since they don''t accomplish much since some are not meaningful. If kids in the future become more educated and civilized will they think that games now are a joke and silly?
If you tell an educated kid in the future to play GTA3 and to kill someone in the game wouldn''t they find it disturbing and meaningless to drop it?

Even the kids at the EGM article that played pong found it better to go outside than to stay in and play the games which many did stay in 20 years ago. I met other kids that like their educational games better than the meaningless violent games. The young kids that only play the learning games do better in school it seems, than young kids that play meaningless games.

If their was a law that outlawed meaningless games would most game designers leave the industry since meaningless games are their source of income? If everyone did something meaningful then game companies would hire teachers to work with designers to make games I think but until then, o well.

well this actually happen sice human born an strike randomly people after a will, it''s called *caugh* *caugh* being adult *caugh* *caugh* and its happen around every early 20-30 years of a life... and this lead to intolerant and eliteness behaviour towards "meaningless" things, as we all know that life MUST be BORING and DULL

Come'on get real!...Only "kids" play games?

Under what convolted hypersensative foolish reasoning do you think that "kids" have been the sole target audiance for such a "meaningless" game as GTA3?

More like in the future kids will live on the games untill they are made to live in the real world. You are talking about a wold in the future which will have way cooler stuff with games like VR. I think people will more likely spend more and more time on computers and games.

You''re right BlueAngel, it will be just like the matrix!
In the future we will all jail our children in a safe (government?) institute where no possiblilities of danger can exist. They will not physically be with family or society until they are 18 years old.
In this place they will constantly be exposed to computer simulations that encourage learning and good morals.
When they are released they will be perfect members of society. Every parent will want their kids in the program to keep them safe from drugs, bullies, molesters, violence and sex on TV, problems which will only get worse in the future.
Also the parents won''t have to feed them, buy them things or worry about college. The "system" will take care of all that for them with computers and robots.
Perfect plan!
I can see it now, Barney or that Blue dog jumps out and says
"Hey kids! want to play a game? It only takes 18 years to finish,
but then the real fun begins! ok now, go on, get in there..
(door slams)... FOOLS! NOW YOU BELONG TO .US. muhahahahaa!!!"

This will answer all your questions and much more.

I know it seems like a lot of pages but it goes by fast. If you want to know about design then you would read it, and if you don''t then don''t come in to the design forum.

come on guy WE are in a matrix
it''s called the neural brain, it is the responsible of the fake world called reality
we can only escape reality by dreaming
but after all you will understand that dream and reality are the same part of the coin called the world

think about it, why everyone when they see the same of object has not the same information and get different conclusion
why it''s so hard to communicate that we get conflict with each other???

so different reality we are stuck in...
we build the reality from random sensation and put sense on it with intelligence (grec: inter ligare> tie together)
but what it is intelligence but putting sense where there is another, isn''t that an illusion?? since we can''t have the whole picture we can only guess, bet from sensation what things are, since we can''t have the whole picture we can only see illusion, shadow of things which happen off screen (the things we cannot know), our reality is a game, a lottery, it obey rule but bet ob the rule is part of game, we can only win or lose, it''s a matter of skill and luck mix together, everything is nothing but a BIG illusion, a BIG game

it''s the matrix dude, we got custom matrix in a network
we are in matrix IN another matrix which run on a thing called mass energy that we perceive through at least TWO of his emanations the emptyness and the matiere (0 and 1, yin and yang, femal and male, good and evil, sense and non sense, read this or not read this, here or there, positive or negative, gibberish or philosophic, western or eastern) by running these two you obtain all the world around you (sound image et everythings else)

that''s what we play game, because it''s the mirror of reality
with a sigle material (cd) with fluctuation in his surface (bump and hole) we obtain abstract (the bit 1 and 0) which is turn into a phenomenal world of sound, image and more

the difference with reality is that it''s a dream turn into materiality, a reality in the reality which is the perfect cross between reality and dream, it''s art, it''s science, no, this more this is video games
