Don't lay this shit at my door. My criticisms about the first release of shock: were explicitly aimed at the writing. The system itself was and is brilliant. Joel, you say this yourself. So how come my critique, which Joshua agreed with and to his credit rectified, is being held responsible for the foofaraw about *playtesting*? The responsibility for that lies with the retarded and toxic context of discussion at various popular internet venues for being indie game designers.
To any reader: don't bother asking me where or who. If the shoe fits, wear it.
Best, Ron
