There's Care Bears off the starboard bow!

How do you take a fascinating, in-depth online gaming world full of aliens, green beauties, and magnificent spaceships and ruin it? By making it a casual game. At least that's Garrett Fuller's conclusion and he has written a lengthy editorial on that very subject. Whether you agree or disagree you should check out the article, then voice your opinion on the forums!

My point is that Star Trek fans may now be sold short on an in-depth universe that they have come to respect and admire. I know one thing about Star Trek fans: They value depth. The depth of technology and science that is in the Star Trek universe is something that appeals to Trekkies. So why would the company who now owns Star Trek Online come out and say that they are taking a more casual approach? To bring in new fans? Are you kidding? There is a HUGE Star Trek fan base which is already established. Just because several crummy spin off series fail does not mean that the property is in trouble and we now have to dumb down an online game to bring in new fans.
