Blowing smoke, or is he on to something?
World of Warcraft is bad for us as a society. At least, that's what Jonathan Blow, creator of 2006 IGF Design Innovation award winner Braid, believes. He discusses the creation of more meaningful games and his take on the nature of WoW in this intriguing Gamasutra article.
