The mere fact that the creators of LIF are frequent mmo players and have felt what we've all felt. They are apart of the gaming niche that many of us are apart of, and knew what kind of game was wanted and needed. I bet many of us have dreamt of a game like LIF countless of times. Instead of sitting around sulking and consuming, they went out and created their dream game.
People probably denounced them, told them that they didn't have the funding, the experience, the marketing expertise; but they still went out and created their game.
It's inspiring. Very Napoleon Hill-esque.
Enough stream of conscience,
Nite.
