What keeps you playing?

[Fendred]

Yoshida actually listening to player concerns and responding to them is what keeps me playing. It interests me as a computer science major because watching a professional deal with the difficulties involved in listening and responding to the player base's concerns helps build my own confidence as a future software developer. Because I'm playing the part of the client, it provides the unique experience of seeing how a software developer can misinterpret a design specification, how a client can feel if things go wrong, and that I shouldn't be afraid of making a mistake as long as I learn to get things right most of the time. So I definitely look at Yoshida as a role model for a successful developer. I feel wiser for staying around and watching him work out solutions.

That and I find things I enjoy about his game. Too many to mention. There are also things I don't like about his game that I complain about all the time because I'm a terrible human being who wants the entire game for himself. So in that way I'm like everyone else.
