Comment In: Video Game Industry Predictions 2013 [Blog - 01/01/2013 - 08:15]

Apple will not release anything ...

Apple will not release anything I would not be surprised if they come out with a new Apple-TV that redefines the set-top box market, and of course supports their app-store games. r n r nAlso I haven 't seen much talk about 4K or 8K Ultra HD displays here. Granted ...

Comment In: Minecraft creator fights against software patent trolls with $250K donation [News - 12/19/2012 - 04:43]

Money can be a great ...

Money can be a great start, but it 's not the entire picture. This isn 't a A B split test here. In practice, in the real world, everything has a 3rd variable that 's hard to isolate out. Like most complex social issues, people must tackle it on many ...

Price collusion is reaching its ...

Price collusion is reaching its breaking point. The industry read: Sony, Microsoft can decide they want to move on, or fall victim to their own trap. This has already happened in the cable television industry. People have less disposable income these days and fixed prices are not selling them on ...

Comment In: League of Legends: Changing bad player behavior with neuroscience [News - 12/05/2012 - 03:58]

As a LoL player I ...

As a LoL player I have felt the problem is often my own teammates insulting me and the rest of the team. It feels like a result of the troll being too competitive and not accepting a random mix of teammates. r n r nIf we go on Bartle 's ...

Comment In: Magic: The Gathering's Richard Garfield's strategies for game balancing [News - 11/10/2012 - 10:53]

Great article about a great ...

Great article about a great game designer, cheers to Leigh. r n r nI feel like Garfield perfected many problems with Battletech:CCG though it also had its fair share of exploits/un-balanced elements. The element of attacking the drawpile stockpile alone was incredible. Being able to attack resources like Magic 's ...

Comment In: Here's what Steam Greenlight voters look for in a game [News - 09/14/2012 - 05:51]

Sadly, this doesn 't fix ...

Sadly, this doesn 't fix all problems. Marketing is still a real challenge to games, and I think it 's worth looking at the system to see that the AAA bias or even stereotypical indie platformers is showing up again. Perhaps there could be a system for greenlighting those games ...

Comment In: Living in Pitfall!'s shadow [News - 09/06/2012 - 05:00]

Kickstarter is not intended to ...

Kickstarter is not intended to be used for big budget anything. The idea is that if you have an asking price that would lure in VCs and traditional investors, you 've graduated from the league that needs Kickstarter. It is not a typical funding solution. It is people with dreams ...

Comment In: Opinion: Zynga investors start to realize their predicament [News - 08/24/2012 - 11:26]

On the brightside, more people are playing non-zynga games on facebook. That can only be good for the industry. r n r nThe signs were there for those who invested/worked there. Why did they flock there anyways

Good advice to those reading Craig 's comment: Let the wookie win.

Comment In: GameStop to game devs: Please love us [News - 08/06/2012 - 03:48]

I 've never understood why ...

I 've never understood why devs make such a big deal about used games sales. I always thought it was the publishers whining about it. The problem here seems to be devs not getting paid sufficiently enough, which did seem to be a current trend. I think that again goes ...
