The Life-Changing $20 Rightward-Facing Cow →
Great read for designers-at-heart. (the rest of you might be bored. >_> )
Ian recently sent me an IM to share some correspondence with one of his users: “Hi Ian,” writes one. “I’ve noticed that the Cowpocalypse has happened and users have to pay to see their cow. Do you have a goal or timeframe of when this will be set back to normal?”
“There’s no way to pay to see your cow,” replied the designer. “The cows got raptured.”
Like any dissatisfied customer, the user said he’ll no longer play, as Cow Clicker is “not a very fun game” any longer. Answers Bogost: “It wasn’t very fun before :)”
