Are you comparing 2 relatively simple games with... Word?
Word is basically an operating system. Unix people like to make fun of Emacs for being one, but Word is basically one, too. And all the features in there are used, otherwise Microsoft wouldn't keep them around.
>Word is basically an operating system.
And .doc files are basically a memory dump.
That was certainly true once, but now all that state is serialized to xml amd zipped up. You can unzip it and look at it if you don't value your sanity.
So what you're saying is that the files are basically a memory dump formatted as XML? :-p

Dump is a great word for it
Haha, I misread as "word games" and was very confused about the claim.
