Decline of the American Empire, Part XIV: Video Game Outsourcing

Yes, it's true: gamers are now outsourcing the boring beginnings of video games to the Chinese. And why not? The Imperial Empire has outsourced pretty nearly everything else to the rest of the world.

Here's another gamer item that illustrates the unreality of life in the Empire today: adult gamers are devastated by Sony's decision to revamp their favorite online game into a juvenile first person shooter. Says one gamer," ...for many people it's much more than a game. It is a part of their lives where they have invested huge amounts of time building a community."

It's like a stab in the heart. Gamers have become to addicted to the online fantasy world and it has begun to replace something thought to be irreplacable: life. I especially like the "cannot be duplicated in real life" comment.

Makes Chaos wonder how much "real" life some people have, here in the Imperial Republic...

In a small attempt to gain more popularity for Chaos I have listed your blog on my Facebook site (a site for college students, much like myspace, which works like an online directory). Ideally, your loyal readerlist will now expand significantly.
