The games are great -- don't get me wrong -- but there have been a lot of business decisions that I feel are damaging my favorite hobby. As far as pre-orders go, I feel strongly that we should all stop doing it -- it's bad for the consumer, it's bad for the industry, it's bad for the medium. Anyway, I hope you find a good balance in your life with games and your other hobbies and pursuits. |
Well another one of my tabletop games made the May 2013 issue of Games Magazine, which is on the newsstands right now. So, when I compare that and tight money to get the word out, vs dropping money on say a 3DS, I begin to think better to work on my game stuff. I also get paid a few bucks for my publications.
I am finding the more I stay away from Game Stops, stop checking for reviews, and falling out of the loop on what is hot, the less pull I have to be involved in things.
On another personal note, I just got in from doing some tabletop gaming. Played D-Day Dice and also Forbidden Island (two cooperative games) and also Pillars of the Earth with the expansion (didn't get to finish). It was worth my time actually.
