I really appreciate Jeff showing us those revenue/sales numbers it makes me feel better about not caving in and joining the race to the bottom on pricing in my own games.
In one instance, there was a competitor who hadn't completely copied one of our games but they were directly referencing elements of our proprietary language in their advertising. They were targeting our users and insinuating that we were responsible for the title they were advertising. It was a little bit ...
I agree 100 . I was excited when I first learned of the controller, then immediately became unexcited once I realized there could only be one per system. Capping the WiiU at one touchscreen controller per console limits its possibilities dramatically, essentially killing any sort of competitive real-time multiplayer play ...

If you define role-playing so broadly, then that makes the label meaningless. If RPGs are to be regarded as a distinct genre, RPG has to stand for qualities that aren't universal in games. Stat leveling is as easy to say as RPG elements, and it doesn't conflate the genre with ...
Rob, the term cherry picking implies that I've deliberately selected from a wide variety of examples so as to provide the illusion of support for my argument. In fact, there are so many examples of indie games with the indie aesthetic being featured that it would make the article unreadable ...
I graduated from law school in May, and just found out two days ago that I passed the Bar exam. I'm getting sworn in as an attorney in about a month. At the same time, I'm also an indie game developer. So I understand both positions here. Honestly, it's hard ...
