Yes, but my point is that games in general become more challenging and gain more depth by HAVING a point. Not necessarily an overinflated point, but just a point. For example, D2 is fun to play, and once you beat it, great. But people keep coming back and playing it for hours on end because of the random, rare items.

I actually love the Tetris on GameBoy and amassed 2,000,000 points at level 18 (yes, it goes way way way past lvl 9). But the ending you get with the rocket ship I think was at least worth some distinction. I just don't see how productive the game can be when all you get is a point total that amounts to nothing in comparison.

I still think Metris is an awesome addition to Graal though
