I got more annoyed with the game the more I wrote about it.

The early stories about it sounded promising. Oh, well...

It's several days after this review was posted, but something bugs me about it. I got involved with the comments a little, because I happened to know something about the head of the studio behind it... So later, another reader commented on a forum called neoGaf, where there was discussion of your review, including someone in the company (I think probably the company head) was critical of your review. What I found there is not what I was expecting. There was a thread for people playing this game. And what surprised me is they seemed to more or less be adults. This took me aback. Then I questioned, whether it was even appropriate for you/Jim to review this game as such... because to me, it strikes me as a format that can only possibly appeal to a 5-9yo demographic. Clearly that's not you Jim. It's not your demographic either. Could you review it as would you recommend this to give to your children? I don't know. This is an interesting question to me. What makes a game for young children? It's not the visuals. It's something to do with who would be appropriate to engage with it. Minecraft seems the same. I feel like if adults are playing these games for recreational purposes, there's probably something about them, that society would at least question. Where is the line. Is this appropriate? And what's weird is the consensus in the neoGaf board didn't think this is a child's game. It borders on a fetish for child's things to me. Admittedly the subject matter (or the games backstory) doesn't seem completely appropriate to children, but who's to say really. It's probably a difficult topic, if not impossible, but could Jimquisition ask what makes a game off-limits to adults? Or at least not appropriate to critique it for the purpose of recommending it to adults? I got swept up in this one, so the thought never really came to me until long after the comments had quieted down.
