One Hundred Games, and the Question of What Can Be Played

Background: The community chat remained subdued on Saturday after several difficult days. The Night Watchman, a longtime member, remembered the project's plans for games. He also saw how newcomers could hear “one hundred games” and assume those games were already within reach.

Today: Members encouraged one another: there were still games, and still the ambition of one hundred games. The Night Watchman let them hold on to that hope, then suggested describing separately what people could access now, games that had been announced, and the longer term goal. Some found that dispiriting; others began asking what they could actually play.

Impact and next steps: The slogan briefly gave the group something to rally around, but players' questions had become specific. The Night Watchman planned to organize the available game updates for newcomers. One hundred games remained an ambition; he still had to work out how to keep people waiting from mistaking that ambition for the present.
