It does.

Perhaps there are some who are ready for this type of flexible thinking involving strategy and communication and there are some who are not.

I never try to guess what the GDC is thinking when they introduce the game challenge each year. Usually, I leave the season thinking that I will never know and that, we, as a community of competitors, don't ever really know all of the goals that the GDC has embedded in the challenge. I also think that sometimes, even the GDC is surprised as the game evolves and teams create ways to play it.
