i will say one word or two
democracy , interaction ...i am just a player and a member here who for example thinks Riven is the best thing that ever happend and Book of unwritten tales (on the other hand) took more than it deserves,... why? why becuz of its long anticipation and its propaganda and i cant deny its being well crafted .. but to get my point i d rather play woodruff and the schnibble or even king quest's as the recpect they the mind of the player!....thats all ..i think developers NEEDS our Help to make good games, instead of caring only about the market and the sales
