Cool AI games
I don't know why some people are worried or rather pissed about Pieter Levels building a simple flight simulator game like this and making money out of this. Obviously, it's not about how good the game is (one person was complaining about this, although I don't remember who now). It's about "reach", "distribution", and "placement". Advertisers are paying because so many people are trying this "mediocre" game, and it's giving them eyeballs. Simple.
I love it. I have played the game, and it's fun despite being very simple.
I also noticed that this has given a lot of other people the motivation to build something like this and, surprisingly, those few people are also making money out of this:
Very cool, right?
I expect there will be a lot more of this kind of game coming out in the near future which can be played directly in the browser.
