| Sullla said: I'm not sure these were Malstrom's best articles - a lot of repetition of previous points, and they REALLY could have benefited from some editing down to smaller size. With that said, I still recommend them as important reading, especially for those who haven't read previous Malstrom articles. A lot of really stupid arguments floating around on the Internet are answered decisively by his writings. |
What? Just because of a sentence like this?
"For if you will just grant me for a moment (what I shall very soon try to demonstrate) that the blue ocean, when it becomes widespread, becomes disruption, just as a little carp becomes a big carp, provided that Nature lets it live, I shall show you how true it is that a champion of downmarket, new generation gaming should pose as the re-shaper of upmarket, next generation gaming; but what is still more extraordinary and still more reassuring is that powerful corporate strategies that were formed to disseminate the competitor companies’ non-gaming goals as establishing Blu-ray, controlling online content, and sell high definition television sets (in so far as this is deemed as jumping in front of the trend by particular investors) should today devote half of its resources to this cause only to watch it fly away as little Wii pulls the rug from underneath the Xbox 360 and Play Station 3 to towering collapse."
Yep. Only one period in all that. I think I figured out what he was trying to say by the end, but my brain cramped up a couple times in the five minutes I spent re-reading sections, trying to figure out WTF he was talking about.
Good thing he's worth the effort to understand. At least he makes more sense than Jurgen Habermas.
