If I wasn't married, and I didn't mind exploiting human beings to make money, I could make a real addictive game like Farmville.

You put in random "awesome item" drops, sell in-game items on the game's website, make a player's hard work deteriorate if you don't log in regularly, etc.

I've read many articles which discuss how to make an addictive game -- I posted them here, as a matter of fact.

Heck, people pay to play crappy games like Runescape that have poor graphics so it shouldnt be hard to do.

Indeed. Thats why Im going into agriculture. Just wait till those Farmville cidiots and WoW losers see my Rancho and my REAL warhorses (that I can actually ride), once I save up enough money that is.
