"@Shirk: I found your article an essential read. I never thought about associating the lack of interest in "real" critical history with game's plots with more depth.
The only point which I disagree is in the notion of people "choosing" to "see the world in black and white". I believe that this a partial truth, as the equation is more complex IMHO: while people do choose, the information passed on to them also has become quicker and lighter over time.
I have a blog about games in brazilian portuguese (I'm from Brazil), and I was wondering if I could translate your text to post it in my page. Of course, it will be credited thoroughly.
@Brett: this MMORPG is played mostly for it's group gameplay. How many people do you know that don't skip the quest texts? (I'm one who does lol, I play it only for the fun)"
