I'm currently critiquing a novel which is painfully obvious based off of a game, so I felt a need to say something this topic. Of realistic games like sports, I have no problem. It's games like Final Fantasy I cringe at. Several reasons: 1) plot/characters do things for the sake of the plot with little to no development or explanation 2) world-building isn't explained. High tech, yet they use low-tech weapons/transport? 3) Fight scenes aren't realistic.
it is amazing how John Green...and the internet have done this time and again...what was just supposed to be a year long experiment in how he communicated with his brother Hank turned into one of the most popular channels with two more launching this month; what was a pretty throw-away joke that year became a term for an entire fan-base who now have multiple websites and do amazing things for charity, and yes he's taken what was just a game and created another world.

I'm not against it, just wary.
