After thinking about I was going to write here, I decided to choose one of my personal hobbies: video-games, more precisely, computer games.
Actually, computer games aren´t that appealing or addictive to play. I think is because programmers and video-games companies only focus on graphics and trying to make them as beautiful as it is technically possible.
Only a few recent titles show some new features that can make it appealing to play. But most of them lack the essence of a computer game is… playing for game.
My favorite type of game is RPG (Role-Playing-Games) which means that may differ completely from one to another.

Finally, I was for more than an hour to fully understand and memorize every key used in the game. In short, approximately two hours just to start playing. After all that I realized that I didn’t like the game.
So, I ask for a rather simple thing from game developers:

create games in which we can truly play just for fun.
