Yes, i'm aware of all this, but internet can also be considered like that, and also, many entertainment. And wow is just a game among many, i don't quite agree with this generalization.
You can't judge a medium for what is done with it, but for what you CAN do with it.

The downvote system is automatic ? I thought user could downvote each other threads
I'm still asking for clarification on why games are compared to crack. I'm a gamedesigner you see, and i went a little bit crossed-eyed on this sentence.
Great article, but i don't really understand the last paragraph about games and social media, and the correlation between usefulness and self-fulfillment. Especially the part where games = crack = bad.
Yup, that's my case, i miss the easy workflow of other languages with "more feature". I miss native namespace and packaging, class, a code completion that works... etc
Edit : Besides, i don't really like wow :)
