With a student population that, from my experience, spends a good deal of time thinking about what to do in an apocalypse (go straight to Costco!), students would play the game as their homework, mining, hunting, and building, with class-time being where the students would discuss the ramifications of their actions, vote on laws, and discuss parallels with the real world. Eco is an excellent hook to get students thinking about and discussing these important topics. The name Eco is short for the two primary mechanics of the game: ecology and economy. Together they are essential to human survival, and the game lies at the difficult intersection of the two. There is a great deal more information on the Eco – Global Survival Game Kickstarter as well as the Strange Loop Games website.I am not good at quoting in posts, but the dev questioned basically why did I buy the game. I mean really? What kind of question is that? I like building, I like crafting, I like survival and progression. Your right I don't give a care about government or economy, I get enough of that in the real world. I like the way trees roll down a hill when you chop them down. I like chasing a deer through the forest while hunting it. I think your narrow minded view has clouded you to what a great survival crafting game you have here. There are so many things that this game does that are just amazing, but I do not have the time or patience to generally deal with other people while playing it. In general I am not "anti-social", but my gaming is sporadic at best. I play multiplayer games that tend to have a drop in, drop out type of game play. I do not however have the time to dedicate to a group of people to accomplish what you feel are the key aspects of the game. ![]() I played WoW for years, and Rift, Everquest, Everquest 2 etc, but that was back in my younger years when I had more time I could do that. I feel dismayed by the developers comments that sound to me like I am not playing their open world, free roam, survival crafting game their way, so they don't really care. It is far too late for a refund for me but statements like that make me never want to play the game again. I am not a programmer, or a developer, so I can not create such a beautiful and functional world on my own.
