[quote name='cancerman1120']Look up Jennifer Hepler, Bioware, Dragon Age. She basically has been cyberbullied from fans for saying she is not a big video game player even though she writes for Bioware. Some fanboys lost their collective minds and think she is the sole reason for the decline of video games. It is really just childish nonsense.[/QUOTE]
She didn't do herself any favors in taking the bait and responding the way she did. She fed the trolls a line that will echo on forums for who knows how long, her superior further stoked the flames in trying to defend her and this isn't the first time a Bioware writer got into it personally with critics either. The whole thing is a mess that could have been avoided had a company the size of Bioware just hired a decent P.R. firm.
She actually had a chance to further explore her comments about preferring story over gameplay, but that opportunity is gone now. The internet is a bunch of faceless opinions, if you try to fight it, they will simply multiply and persist.
I have to say though, something like Asura's Wrath sounds exactly like what Hepler would want, only with much more romance and melodrama. Asura's Wrath reminds me of those FMV games which no longer exist but were once popular on the Sega Cd; games like Sewer Shark, Prize Fighter and Tomcat Alley which are light on gameplay. Maybe there is a market for this, far be it from me to deprive anyone of a new experience they enjoy, but it would be about as niche a market as they come.
