Dumb article. Publishers. Are. The. Problem.
(great Brutal Legend mention, shame it didn't clearly state how far Activision went to try and stop it getting published. Just as an example)
Oh and I suppose if you're gonna have to write an article *so* long you're gonna need to mention polarising markets. Y'know, non-gamers on Nintendo's, Jap/western divide etc. Goes part of the way to account for lack of middle ground or wider variety in genre's available.
this feels like one step closer to that Gran Turismo nightmare of a buying a disc full of data, and having to pay real money to 'unlock' cars and tracks.
I can only hope this fails massively, but I know out there, there is an endless sea of retarded flowchart Kens.
