Why does the story say "video game"? I wouldn't call Microcorruption a video game. Was this your word choice or something New Scientist did on their own? Or is Starfighter actually going to be something I would call a video game (instead of what I was expecting which was an experience akin to Microcorruption)?
I would be because for a large number of people, including the people writing the New Scientist story, games played primarily on or with dedicated or general purpose computers are all "video games".
because of that choice, my brain spam filtering just gave up on the story. If not for the comments here, I didn't know that it was about microcorruption.Maybe I should give it a chance.
