Game developers are constantly looking at how to utilize the paradox of satisfaction. Creating an experience that doesn't quite satisfy your gaming experience and leaving you in a state of perpetual temptation.

Frederick the Great has become a common name but this was only the beginning, as a great monarch cannot know peace for long.
