Slashdot: News for nerds, stuff that matters

The thing is, he could even be right that social/casual/freemium gaming is not sustainable and not going to supplant his business model. But it's hardly news that he thinks so.

Will their preferred method of vaporization be Death Star or lludium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator?

That's just mean!
