Hello everyone, here's my story...

I'm a 22 year old student from Belgium. If all goes according to plan I will become a geography & math teacher next year.
You might ask yourself 'what are you doing here?'. Well, hopefully I have a proper answer to this question. Just read and don't judge.

I've been playing tons of games on my computer for the past 10(?) years (just like many of you). At first I fell in love with games like Death Race, Age of Empires, Commandos, FIFA, etc ...
But the last few years I've turned to online multiplayer browser games. I'm one of those guys that plays a game for a few weeks 12 hours a day to reach the top of the community and then jumps off to something else. Name an online game and I've probably played it and (sorry for the little bit of egocentrism) most likely made it to the highest level. In those years I've had tons and tons of ideas for new games or improvements to existing games. The problem is that I haven't found any good way to share these ideas. Writing them down in the 'suggestion&ideas'-forum of the community doesn't really help. Some of the ideas were used .. after I left the game. Mostly I'm so disgusted of the sloth and the greed of the dev-teams that it's no longer fun to play these games.
The ideas for 'new' games that I have are even harder to exploit. I tried contacting game developpers, but as I expected I didn't get any response. I didn't reveal my ideas either, because I don't want them to be stolen.
I have absolutely no experience in game development itself. I'm not going to try and learn it either. I'm not a programmer and I'll never be. It's not that I don't want to, but I know I'm not capable.
All I want to do is sit down with someone who's willing to listen to my ideas and exploit one of them. I want to write games. I want kids to have fun with the games that I wrote. I don't even want to make money of it. I just want to create something. But it seems so hard to get inside this world
After talking to some friends about this and another failed effort to contact a developper, I just started googling.
This is what I found, a decent website about game development.
But I have troubles finding my way. There seem to be alot of different forums where I could tell my story.
That's why I posted in here.

I'm asking you what I should do to become a Game Writer (if that's even the correct terminology).

Best regards

This is kind of a non-answer, but in general there is not a shortage of good ideas for games. And often ideas from a non-programmer tend to be unrealistic. Most hobbyist game developers already have their own ideas, so don't be surprised if no one is interested in yours (even if they are great).

However if you really want to discuss your ideas then the game design and writing for games sub-forums are a great place for that. Also you can keep an eye on the help wanted forums.

Allright, thanks for your honest answer!

Mostly I'm so disgusted of the sloth and the greed of the dev-teams that it's no longer fun to play these games.

I think you're more disgusted at the 'sloth and greed' of the managers that order the dev-teams about. Or the upper-management that orders the lower management about. Or the stockholders that ensure the upper-management focus on greed, at risk of firing them otherwise.

Or perhaps you're disgusted at the current legal laws of the country that make it possible and plausible for people to sue the company if they actually do use your ideas.
Or perhaps you're disgusted that development and programming takes much longer then most people imagine ("It'd only take like a few lines of code! You can have it implemented before lunch!") and that there are more important things that need to be done first ("Here's the new bug report, Fred... three thousand new critical-code-red bugs have been discovered since last saturday's patch.").

Or whatever. My point is, don't be disgusted at someone unless you actually have first-hand knowledge of why they do what they do.

([size="1"]Note: I'm not a game developer for a major studio, I'm just a hobbyist, so I'm not speaking from first-hand knowledge of development teams either; but I am speaking from first-hand experience with programming)

Thanks for your answers. It really opened my eyes a bit.
