Yeah that was a nice game, but really. Take your money and put it into something useful. There's diseases to be cured, politicians to be lobbied, philosophical questions to be investigated, space to explore.. There's poverty and war.

We used to like games when we were kids, of course. But we are adults now. (I assume that most HN-readers are adults.) Shouldn't we care about different things?

I care about poverty and war and politics and curing cancer, of course, but that's not all I think about 100% of the time. I can only speak so definitely for myself, but I'd be willing to bet that you don't either. You could apply your logic to all sorts of things, and look down your nose at having a drink with friends, or walks along the beach, or painting, or playing the piano. Why play with your kids, there are diseases to be cured, come on! None of really live our lives like that.

Actually, my main problem with this particular Kickstarter is the blatant copyright infringement, which Kickstarter usually takes down.

I must have missed the memo, exactly what age was I supposed to stop liking things I used to like and give up all entertainment?

Not that this project has an ice cubes chance in hell, but that's beside the point.

Oh for crying out loud. This is a childish argument. Does every human endeavour need a quantifiable amount of "goodness" attached to it?
