PGHammer Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I'm ashamed to admit that my family is addicted to these games, My Father, Step-Mother, two Step-Sisters, and even my Uncle all play Farmville, and Farmtown, and Mafiawars, Mobwars and CafeWorld (I'm rather surprised there isn't a 'CafePlanet' or some other slightly different clone). Luckily I have managed to avoid the horrible addiction that is playing pointless games online, ahh well, I'm off to play some WoW. Casual gaming is more than online gaming (consider PopCap, for example; they have both online and offline versions of most of their casual games). What's more, casual gaming actually has *greater* appeal, as it also appeals to folks that usually don't play MMOs (such as WoW) in addition to those that do. Example: Has anyone looked to see how many different *online* versions of Bejeweled (the original PopCap-developed version) there are? (I'm not counting knockoffs, such as Diamonds of Atlantis.) I personally know of at least six, including the one hosted by PopCap itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
