The desire for the ‘old ways’ are over, ladies and gentlemen! Break out the trumpets! Let out the women so they can start dancing! Bring out the cigars and cognac!
Instead of one game industry, we have two. The core game industry and the new expanded game industry. One has a future, the other does not.
The Era of the Hardcore is over. Now, we enter the Era of Disruption!
