Wishfish, I've heard this criticism before and here's my response-
First, I made the game futuristic because I just wanted to write a science-fiction story. I made the reality futuristic so that virtual reality exists. Otherwise I would have to keep saying stuff like "Josh clicked on the planet and his ship flew there." So really I set both story-worlds in the future for a good reason.
Also, I don't think Josh and Tyler would find a game from their own time period boring. We play sports games, racing games, FPS'* like Counterstrike and Battlefield. All those games are set in the current time period, but they are still interesting because the average person never gets to play professional football, race in Nascar, or drive around in a tank blowing up terrorists. Similarly, I doubt that in 2035 the average person will be able to walk out to the general store, buy a spaceship, and fly off to the other side of the solar system to fight dragons.
------------------
I don't play those games.
And why fight back? It's just an opinion. We all have them. It's pointless fighting over it.
