Comment In: Would Steam Points Work? [Blog - 11/10/2009 - 10:22]

As stated by the previous ...

As stated by the previous comments, this would benefit everyone but the consumer while adding a burden on Valve for maintaining user specific unspent credits and all of the lovely database work involved. Despite the fact that Valve is entering more into a e-commerce position with their marketplace and infrastructure, ...

Comment In: NPD: October U.S. Sales Slump 19% As Wii Re-Tops Hardware [News - 11/12/2009 - 03:57]

I want to know the ...

I want to know the separate sale numbers of the PSP and PSP Go. Lumping them together as a platform total is confusing when the industry is clearly watching the PSP Go closely to see if it is a bellwether for digital distribution.

Comment In: Nintendo Begins WiiWare Game Demo Trial Program [News - 11/03/2009 - 01:06]

I can see storage availability as a huge concern for Nintendo when it comes to the standard retail game demos. Even if demos are offered will this ever result in a change with Nintendo's promotional efforts on the console As the article mentioned, both the 360 and PS3 integrate advertising ...

Comment In: Konami Warns Of Disappointing Fiscal First Half [News - 11/03/2009 - 12:11]

Someone, anyone, please mention a ...

Someone, anyone, please mention a Konami game that was not for handhelds or download only. I know I sure as hell can't come up with a single one that is not some TMNT themed product. It's like they are holding their franchises hostage.

Comment In: Sony's Software Strategy: Shuhei Yoshida Speaks [Feature - 10/30/2009 - 04:00]

The tone of some of ...

The tone of some of the questions from this interview were more aggressive than I'm accustomed to. Thomas did not shy away from bringing up the various missteps Sony has made with the product launches and subsequent support. I would really like to know when SCE plans on finally phasing ...

Comment In: A Video Game Monthly Subscription Service For New Titles? [Blog - 08/26/2009 - 10:44]

Something that I'm surprised no ...

Something that I'm surprised no one has mentioned yet is the fact that your model increases the risk of creating a finished product prior to retail. The biggest unanswered facet of your analysis is how upfront development cost is assessed. Does Steam, as a content service provide, purchase distribution rights ...

Comment In: VGS 09: Game Designers - Everything You Know Is Wrong [News - 10/30/2009 - 02:47]

The headline to this article ...

The headline to this article is deceivingly general. This story only highlights on the Chinese MMO market but is written with a loose association to game development for the Chinese market as a whole. Something that is not brought up is the ludicrously high piracy rate in China and how ...
