I'll start with "the moral of the story" for me...

I need to stop taking articles so seriously and taking all of the fun out of an otherwise highly nostalgic blast from the past.

--------

This is an old article (2009).

Even so, I can't imagine that this is true: "Click-for-click, nothing has wasted more time than Minesweeper...."

It's probably just hyperbole to get the point across, but to then come out and say that "The most successful game ever made isn't World of Warcraft"... really can't be said without saying by what qualifications you are saying a game is successful.

- If it's pure mouse clicks, I'm sure a gazillion percent sure that WoW has had more clicks.

- If it is $$$ than that's an easy one too.

- If it's time wasted... then I'm sure it's not Minesweeper either.
