When non-gamers make games.

Yesterday, on reddit an interview with a bioware employee from 2006 found the dark light of the internet shown upon it. A female bioware writer said:

"The biggest objection is usually that skipping the fight scenes would make the game so much shorter, but to me, that's the biggest perk. If you're a woman, especially a mother, with dinner to prepare, kids' homework to help with, and a lot of other demands on your time, you don't need a game to be 100 hours long to hold your interest — especially if those 100 hours are primarily doing things you don't enjoy. A fast forward button would give all players — not just women — the same options that we have with books or DVDs — to skim past the parts we don't like and savor the ones we do."

The internet took much offense to this and attacked the woman. You can say whatever you want on the internet, but only if you don't care about consequence. Something like this the only consequence is the hate of trolls, which if you know anything about the internet, don't matter. But it was taken to heart and the attacks got worse. People call this internet bullying but the reality is that the internet isn't reality.

Some people took to calling her a cancer, she's only a cancer if she helps in the destruction of games which would be to get implemented her idea. If you're playing a game of 100 hours, especially if those 100 hours are primarily doing things you don't enjoy, why are you playing that game?

Fast forwarding through books? Cmon are you sure it's the internet that's wrong on this?

If you don't know the Meyer she's talking about, is Stephanie Meyer writer of Twilight. Pretty sure the Old Man she's referring to is George R Martin, writer of Game of Thrones.
