If the game would have been complete, he wouldn't have had all those problems.

Evil cuts corners.

Cheap bastards.

And that's why they'll lose.

Also, if they could beat the game to win, that means it doesn't have enough end-game content. Most of those gamers wouldn't stick around till the midnight deadline anyhow.

I hope I explained why the team who got to the end were able to use several advantages that regular games couldn't have.

Quote:

You did, I meant that if there's nothing to do after they beat the big boss, that means there isn't enough end-game content to hold hardcore players' attention. Modern games have a progression to either a boss or a maximum level, and then there are things to do after that to keep people playing.

The game only had to keep people going long enough to disseminate and trigger the virus.

But more realistically, most "persistent worlds" role playing games seem to expect a natural obsolencence when gamers move on to the next shiny thing.
