David Sirlin is an American game designer and fighting game player. He featured in and narrated much of ''Bang the Machine'', a 2002 documentary by Tamara Katepoo about a Street Fighter "exhibition tournament in Japan showing the difference between American and Japanese gaming cultures" that starred other notable competitive fighting game players who were part of "Team USA." 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0312423/ )〕 He balanced the video games ''Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix'' and ''Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix''. He designed the physical and online card games ''Yomi'', ''Flash Duel'' and ''Puzzle Strike''. His self-granted nickname is Low Strong,〔("Game Design, Psychology, Flow, and Mastery - Playing to Win Book - The Obsessed" ) - David Sirlin (2008). Retrieved on 2008-11-20.〕 but he is known primarily by his surname. Early in his career, Sirlin was an assistant game designer at 3D0, but now works primarily for his own company, Sirlin Games. Sirlin has been described as a "renowned game theory author" by ''Forbes'' magazine, and as an "arcade guru" and "internet-renowned ''Street Fighter'' tournament player" by ''Ars Technica''. ==Writing== Sirlin maintains a blog where he writes primarily on the subject of game design. A frequent contributor to Gamasutra, he is relatively infamous for his sometimes unpopular opinions towards the way companies choose to enforce rules in their games,〔("World of Warcraft Teaches the Wrong Things" ) - David Sirlin (2008). Retrieved on 2008-11-20.〕 as well as for his articles on Playing to Win. Sirlin's website, Sirlin.net, was profiled in Katie Salen's ''Rules of Play'' (2004), which commended the site for its "surprising amount of thoughtful commentary and analysis". In addition to this, he has published a book called ''Playing to Win: Becoming The Champion'', a book that explores the concept of competitive gaming and the mindset of actively playing to win, also drawing examples of the different kinds of gamers that exist by selectively choosing and analyzing both chess and ''Street Fighter'' players.〔 Physical copies of this book were initially available from Lulu.com before the book was released for free to the general public on his website. The book was cited by scholar David Myers in his paper "Self and selfishness in online social play". Sirlin has become critical of many mainstream competitive games for what he perceives to be manipulative business practices and other 'anti-competitive' elements. He has particularly condemned collectible card games such as ''Magic: The Gathering'' for hiding strategically-critical components behind the random distribution of booster packs and popular Multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game League of Legends for its "forced grinding," calling it "fraudulent" and disrespectful to players. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「David Sirlin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
