The home console business needs a new strategy  Featured Blogs
Posted by Kamruz Moslemi on Tue, 22 Mar 2011 08:44:00 EDT in Business/Marketing

Comment In: The Retro Machine, a pipedream [Blog - 06/29/2011 - 11:21]

I think the biggest problem ...

I think the biggest problem of developing for a defunct system is how to advertise your existence to your would be audience. This has always been the biggest problem for indie developers, because the demand is there, but if things are offered on systems with mixed focus you can get ...

Comment In: Interview: Why IndieCity Is More Than Just An Indies-Only Steam [News - 07/28/2011 - 03:49]

You know what such a ...

You know what such a platform needs. A piece of cheap to purchase dedicated platform to run on. An indie box if you will. Something thrown together with cheap hardware that can be sold for 20-50 that comes with a standard controller and is pretty much just plug and play. ...

Well there would be substance ...

Well there would be substance to this sort of talk if there were any evidence of single player games priced 40 or below being prone to selling so much better as to offset the discount by a large margin. Thing is no one had any problem paying this sort of ...

Comment In: The Man In Charge Of Reshaping Square Enix's U.S. Division [Feature - 07/22/2011 - 09:05]

I never particularly cared for ...

I never particularly cared for story or storytelling in games, least of all RPGs, these have always seemed to me as overrated formalities that should be the focus of other mediums who specialize solely in their delivery. As such the only complaint I could lash at Square in their game ...
