Finding funding for those indies is another matter.
Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the show?
I will say, I know a guy with a ton of extra cash who could probably practice what he preaches.
But finding the next digital unicorn in a sea of mid-to-shit titles is no mean feat. For every Warcraft or Marathon there’s a thousand flops.
That is, I think, what makes the AAA studios look worse than they have a right to be. They’re Frankenstein companies, cobbled together from the bits of a dozen early stars. But that doesn’t guarantee hits, it just guarantees brand recognition. The latest Blizzard title isn’t going to have the secret sauce of StarCraft because they already made that game once. Merging with Activision doesn’t mean making a game that’s better than CoD and StarCraft combined.
