    Okay so if inconvenience is fun, I suppose there are wackos out there who just LOVE to go to the D.M.V. everyday?

    Or perhaps they go through Dallas Forth Worth Airport security measures on their days off for a laugh?

    This is the dumbest most ridiculous game developer political schpeal I have ever heard, they guy is basically trying to sell the fact that many players found his game "not fun due to inconvenience".

    I feel dumber for having read that article. I feel the rancid stink of media spin and prapaganda all over me.

    Challenge =\= inconvenience ....sorry.....but no...you need your head examined.

    I think it's more a matter of perspective. One man's trash is another man's treasure, so to speak. I think that was the intended point of the article.

    I understand what you are getting at, but we need to comprehend the definition of inconvenience. You see, the author seems to think it's a subjective term. It's not. Either it is, or is not inconvenient (example: the first class line at the airport is not inconvenient, the coach line IS) . Perhaps a better word would be "tedious"; because it IS in fact subjective, one man's tediousness is another man's joy. (RL fishing for example)

    Yes, the DEGREE of inconvenience is subjective, but the fact that it is inconvenient ..is not.
