ooh poor baby..throwing tantrum is litttle weeny kaaru....there there you'll get your cookie...and your beloved Inspector Gadget cartoon after you learn to be able to distinguish reality from your weird fantasy.
Fantasy: GM's are responsible for everything in a game
Reality: there are development teams; covering different systems.
and now kids History lesson:
GM stands for Game Master. It actually originated from the use of DM's or Dungeon Masters who were the essential judge/narrator/referee/hand of fate in table top Role Playing Games like Dungeons and Dragons. As the games extended beyond Tolkeinistic magical fantasy and into other genres.. the term Dungeon no longer fit. So DM's became GM's...
This was extended into the online arena..where MMORPG's are massive extensions of this. Essentially GM's have become the operations personnel from testing, server administration, payment administration. This is a long way from the original role of referee that the DM role used to represent.
I remember in Meridian69 and Ultima Online....there was a slow shift from calling these people DM's to GM's even then. Hell I remember in the old MOO's I used to play we had MM's or as I liked to call them M&M's
The terminology has coalesced since then into a sadly more unified usage...of which no one has any idea about the actual meaning but just simply use the acronyms.
Its kinda silly ain't it? Using something when you have no idea what it really means or where it came from.
wait. that's most people. *sigh* I really sometimes wish we were back in Usenet sometimes...but hell there were those kinda of idiots probably then too...just my selective memory erasing them.
