Of course, I might be fighting an uphill battle trying to keep "metroidbrainia" meaning what it's supposed to mean - specifically games with non-linear knowledge-gated progression. But that's still a different thing to "information game", "knowledge game", or "database game".

I guess if all of us who have written articles on the subject are joining in, so should I! Haha.

The main argument I'd have against both Bruno's article and yours is that they both say "here's a different name for a different set of things". Neither of the new names means what metroidbrainia means.

This is looking great. I wanted the view to change when you put that helmet+visor on, haha.
