Insomniac Games is proud to introduce our newest division: Insomniac Click. It is dedicated to creating new games for web and mobile platforms.
| Quote: | | We believe there will always be a market for what we call “core” games. These are games specifically made for people like you and me – people who grew up playing games, read gaming blogs, argue about games on message boards, and who care deeply about creating and playing truly transformative interactive experiences. These are the people who believe games can be – in fact are – art. |
| Quote: | | But these games also require a certain amount of expertise to play. |
True

True
| Quote: | | Games didn’t used to be that complicated. |
Again true!!! Why don't they make games as complex (simple) as pacman and tetris anymore?
| Quote: | | But the core audience now not only accepts it, we expect it. We want more complex interactions and deeper forms of gameplay. But as core games have become increasingly complex the barrier to entry for everyone else has often become higher and higher. As a result, the games with the highest production values are simply impossible to play for the vast majority of people in the world. |
Thank you game industry for thinking about me 
| Quote: | But back to the journey thing… when we started I was the only person on the team and I had never even made a web game before. So after a little Google searching I discovered that to make the simplest game I could imagine on Facebook I would need to learn the following:
HTML, XML, CSS, Javascript, AJAX, JQuery, Flash, ActionScript 3, PHP, MySQL, phpMyAdmin, AMFPHP…
…and the whole Facebook API.
(Yes, that’s right smarty pants, I didn’t even know HTML. But my daughter is learning it in kindergarten so she helped me out.) |
That sounds too complicated Poor, poor, facebook developers I will buy 10 virtual items for your games to cheer you up
Can't wait for the announcement of your first "PC" game!

Meh.
Although it would be hilarious if they just went:
"You know what "core" gamers?! Piss of! Facebook/flash/mobile games is where it's at right now so we hope that you'll enjoy Resistance 3 because that will be our last "real" game!"
Imagine the reaction of the PS3 derps.

yes, blame the developers for wanting to reach a larger audience...
there is nothing wrong with facebook games, aside from them having more exposure. Farmville is a tad more advanced than most video games released over the last 3 years so what exactly is your issue ?

Major publishers should start moving in on the Facebook pie really. I mean those Zynga guys are making a killing with selling virtual items and the sort. It's kinda like f2p MMOs with an in game store to serve as a means of income, except that it's way more accessible.
