We do have plans for future socio-political titles, and we feel that we designed a platform rather than one game. It is a platform to "play the news" and understand multiple perspectives on current events in a way that only interactive media allows.<BR/> <BR/>Regarding your other comment, we are actually trying to fight hard with the perception that peace=education. I believe that in order to present a real alternative to "war games" we need to turn "peacemaking" into an engaging, fresh and worthwhile experience. The educational part then becomes natural. If we'll achieve that goal other positive titles will follow and interactive media will mature with more genres and new audiences, (more like cinema and books).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05562336358750711329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184878.post-43830513119591798422007-03-07T11:21:00.000+00:002007-03-07T11:21:00.000+00:00Hi Asi - Thanks for taking the time to comment. I ...Hi Asi - Thanks for taking the time to comment. I applaud what you have done with this game, and I would be interested to hear whether you have further developed the idea to cover other issues/areas of conflict. Thanks for the link to your side of the story - I hope people will read it and form their own views. <BR/><BR/>I guess I assumed the drivers behind a game about war and a game about peace would be different. The game about war seeks purely to entertain, whereas the game about peace seeks (I hope) to educate. However, I certainly don't begrudge you your right to an income, or your right to argue your case.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184878.post-64493767729688899582007-03-07T02:34:00.000+00:002007-03-07T02:34:00.000+00:00Karyn, thanks for this post.

As the producers of PeaceMaker, we never understood why a game for peace should be given for free, and people have no problems with violent games sold for $50-60. For the full version of our reasons for charging money I would refer you to our post titled: "Why PeaceMaker Costs Money?"<BR/>http://www.peacemakergame.com/blog/2007/02/13/why-peacemaker-costs-money/Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05562336358750711329noreply@blogger.com
