Yeah, I know, I sound like an ex-drinker talking about all the good times I used to have on my alcoholic binges...
My cold-turkey stop was because, and I&#039;m serious here, it was costing me a shocking amount of money and depriving me of a home life with my family. Here I am, a self-employed writer, and I never had time for my family because I had this GAME that was waiting to seduce me whenever I pretended I was going to the office to work. I estimate there are about twenty novels that were never written because of computer games. Now, there are those who think that&#039;s a blessing to literature, but at the very least it was costing me money because I wasn&#039;t getting paid as often as when I actually complete the books that are under contract.
Twenty novels killed off? No time for family Damn those pesky games! Maybe Card should&#039;ve been an alcoholic. Might&#039;ve been more productive. Elsewhere, he says &quot;game&#039;s CAN&#039;T have the kind of storylines that movies and books have, or they wouldn&#039;t be playabale&quot; and then&nbsp; goes on, saying not to look forward to Ender&#039;s Game the game. Rather, he&#039;s plotting a series of games based on the Ender&#039;s Game universe. Mo&#039; games, mo&#039; money!
