Playing Games Is Not the Same as Playing Books

Darren: I think we can all agree that the skill of playing games and overcoming difficulty in games is different in some way. So why roguelikes? We know people enjoy difficult games. Is there something unique about the kind of people who are attracted to this particular genre? Darren: There's almost a sense of elitism and maybe it's worth talking about what makes DCCS more difficult than other genres.
