Comment The publisher's slice isn't as thick as you think (Score 1) 664

Publishers don't get anywhere near that percentage of the sale price. This article about the economics of game development is a couple years old, but using it as reference, I would be surprised if publishers were getting more than $20 for every game sold. (And the developers are getting even less)

Comment Rebuilding technology (Score 1) 367

Not to detract from your point, because I believe it is valid, but keep in mind that remaking older technology using newer technology is not necessarily easier because our new technology is faster and 'better'. For instance, in this story about remaking the first video game, they mention that it took 4 people 3 months to put something together that originally took one man a little over two weeks, because of the way the technology used had changed over fifty years.
