That is yet to be seen.

Did you not read the whole technology and stuff behind the game? While the game in and of itself may not be brilliant, its what he's doing with the game and how that is brilliant. Even if the concept never catches on, that says more of the people who ignored it rather than the idea itself.

Thank you for feeling me on this one. I don't think anyone is realizing the technology behind this game is quite extraordinary. They are not building a program with a bunch of customizable areas. They are developing a new way to build a game, by just putting the pieces into code and developing a program that will make sense of it however people want to customize. So, instead of programmers trying to think up and have every customization covered, they let the program do it.

That is brilliant.

errr...yes...sorry, i wasn't focusing on that part...you're right...anyway, my opinion still stands about it being complicated.
