The part I'm not looking forward to is when we hit the point where everyone can just get a fully personalized game, tailored specifically to their interests and tastes. I think there's a real possibility that the technology can get there, but the cost is that then we'll have no shared experiences whatsoever. I was reading a discussion about it somewhere the other day and it really stuck with me. We're going to have fully personalized entertainment, but it will mean the complete death of entertainment media's ability to be a means of community bonding. You'll play the best game in the world but you'll be the only one who will ever play it. You'll never discuss it or get to share your excitement with others because they'll all be busy playing their ideal game instead.
This is the stuff that keeps me up at night.
The lack of shared experiences are why we are so disconnected from our fellow man. Its perverse that we have more WAYS to connect now with the internet and all of its various social media platforms but fewer real connections.
Have you thought about books at all or just games? 200 years ago if someone was educated they largely had all read they same books. That was true for most Europeans. Now days, I'm excited when I find anyone who has read some of the older things I enjoy.
