The Future of Online Games

From the perspective of online game developing, game is an extraordinary complicated system that is some thing created in the social reality but distinguished from the social system. Nevertheless, no matter how complicated it is, it could not exceed the basic system: social system, the game player could be satisfied with the degree of difficulty in the game system, for the aim of achieving game player’s satisfaction, the game system itself has the stimulated object and that must be the social system.

In the recent fifty years of game development, although the form and the content of game has undergone earth-shaking changes, the material that it has involved has challenged the ultimate point of human’s imagination, at one point, all the changes have not yet jump out the frame of social system. The reason is simple: the game designer is actually living in the social reality and could not go beyond his conscious, or jump out of the frame of the social system, and create some thing that differs from social ideology. Although one could open up such kind of game, the game play who is living in the social reality will not agree on it, hence this kind of game will not have the market in the future.

In short, the game system will finally bases on and extremely closes to the social system, and internet as a new social bond and platform, the future games will develop on internet for sure, the goal of stimulate real society will be achieved, and they will become the new generation of online games. We may not easily distinguish what is game and what is real life then, but, perhaps, that is the magic of online games in the new age.
