I’ve been thinking about different game genres and what draws people to prefer one over another. What are the distinctions that make someone enjoy one type of game more than the next? I figured I’d think about each genre separately and define what makes it fun for me and why I think people in general might be drawn to it. Originally I was going to dump an overview of thoughts on all genres in this post, but I’m finding myself mulling so much over each one that I’d rather take my time and write about them separately. And what better to start with than my all time favorite type of game - MMORPGs.
