It would be funny if it wasn't so depressing. It shows really well how out of touch publishers are with what games are about.

”We want games that are less about fun right now.”

Well, that certainly explains the plethora of FPS and gruff space marines, I guess!

But now we might get FPS games with space marines AND monkeys! The future of gaming is bright indeed.
And who plays games for fun anymore? I play games to attract girls, look cool and engage in light hearted banter with online opponents.
The publisher for #4 was obviously Activision.
Also, "Can Joe be a monkey? We like Monkeys." really made me laugh

I like monkeys too :)
in the times of the take-cover-to-heal BS, this is hilarious! Thanks for a laugh!:>
The monkeys are listening.
They just want to cover up how much they like placing cardboard coins on a road randomly and collect them from their motorbikes.

”I can see this working as a Facebook app”

Somehow, I find it somewhat intimidating...
That's bananas.

Yes, now that Kotick has taken all the fun out of game development, his next step is naturally to take all the fun out of the games themselves.

Yeah who wants games that are fun? Personally, I wish developers would come out with more games that replicate real life, especially the part about the 8am-5pm desk jobs. They should also create realistic toilet-related activities. Who needs fun when you have toilet activities!

Sounds like the sims only less fun.

And let it have million of expansions, like The Sims. For example - Factory job, Office job, Outdoor job, Free Time and such. And microtransactions too.

They would need a reading mod since I read the papers in the can.
