Comment In: Can free-to-play be effective without being exploitative? [News - 05/20/2013 - 10:23]

Yeah I do wonder how ...

Yeah I do wonder how long people will keep drinking the kool aid. At some point, I expect people will realize how empty a lot of these games are and get over it.

Comment In: The Trouble with Immersion, or the Opening of Metro: Last Light [Blog - 05/16/2013 - 09:35]

It 's really hard to ...

It 's really hard to do this kind of stuff correctly isn 't it I still think Half-Life 1 was one of the best examples of doing it right. When they do a scripted scene, it 's usually a Big Fucking Deal, and you can 't stick around too long ...

Nice article. If the GDC ...

Nice article. If the GDC awards were any indication, I don 't think there 's any real AAA vs. indie hate at all among developers. r n r nI think it 's sort of human nature to draw lines and be in opposition to something. We 're all guilty of ...

Well, it 's just an ...
