It’s mine! It’s mine this week! And boy is it long-winded:
You’ve been approached by VR-Box, a new home entertainment system startup, for the creation of five new videogames for their home system. They’re reviewing submissions from several different people, and their offer is that, whoever submits the most 5 ideas deemed most interesting and most profitable, gets a position with them simply hanging around thinking up ideas for video games for some collossal amount of money.
The system is an immersive, virtual reality game. People playing will know they’re playing, they won’t be at any special risk physically or psychologically. (No more than with a regular computer game, say.) But it will look more “real” (using a helmet which, yes, works on the brain by nerve induction or something) and the system will be of course far more flexible than anything now on the market
