And in a likely futile attempt to get this thread back on-topic, I would really like to know more about this line:
"Budgets for next-generation development have continued to rise steadily across the board."
It's that "continued" part that concerns me so much. Prices need to go down, and now. I knew full well that those saying that development costs would decrease to reasonable levels when developers finish making their engines/tools were full of it (have those methods ever halved development costs through a generation?), but the thought that they're still going up is bad mojo indeed.
Still, there are some things in this article which seem either poorly researched, horribly phrased, or some combination. So I'd really like to know how to contact this guy to get a few more details about what he means.
