Does people really care about points? The expression "Nobody cares about the points" seems to be true for most gamers but GM still have a global varible for points and functions for making a local high score table. I can understand back when arcade games were popular that points was necessary in order to show how good you were at a game and brag about how no one could beat your high score but it just seems like they are not as important anymore.
I remember that the original Mega Man game had points but that they got rid of them in the prequels. I can still see online highscore having some value but I dont honestly think that most people care about a local high score system. Sometimes getting points can mean that you receive extra lives or some other upgrade but to just have them so you can show how far you have gotten or to put your name in a high score list seems a little outdated.
So what do you think? Is it a waste of time to have points and high score in your games or is there a lot of people that still think it is fun to have them?
