Comment How many times have I read about this on Escapist? (Score 1) 119
The writers there have been blathering on and on about it for as long as I've been reading it. I'm too lazy to find the link to the specific article but it was one the ones about long rants about a hit driven industry the gaming has become and unlike other mediums where indie persists and is partially funded by the hits making it more appealing to a greater number and occasionally people filter in to the mainstream. There was also the article at wired a while back about the long tail.
