A repeated refrain in these forums relates to features not being introduced or expanded upon because to do so would not be ' fun' for the user , defining fun in a very narrow sense implying a need to supply almost instant gratification to the user

I think this is doing the video game audience a major disservice

Think of the movie industry , a media competing with video games for the leisure time of a similar , if not the same target audience

Sure they offer up light comedy and blockbuster super hero films but equally more thoughtful films , broadly under the umbrella entertainment , could a film like ' schindlers list ' be defined as fun ? Probably not , yet people flocked to see it , it won countless awards and remains popular across all age groups

People engage in hobbies , for their own fun , often involving more 'hard work' than their regular day job . Think gardening, why spend hours digging planting and tending plants in your spare time , if it's not ' fun' ?

People's definition of what us fun to them varies to a massive degree and to pigeon hole every body into one narrow definition does the audience an injustice
