In a recent
interview,
Will Wright, creator of Electronic Arts'
SimCity and
The Sims, explored the idea of constructing a game that connects people to the gameplay of their lives, rather than to fictitious or virtual worlds. Wright explains that he is "extremely interested in making games where reality is the playing field."
What do you think? Do people play games to escape their own reality? Or will they embrace the idea of creating a game world based on their own lives?
