Last month, I wrote about “Concord,” a AAA (((disaster))) eight years in the making that died three weeks after launch. To be fair, I’ve heard a few different estimations for the budget for that game. The early numbers ranged from $100-200 million, although recent “reports” place the budget as high as $400 million. I very much doubt the latter figure, which is entirely unconfirmed. Even still, the lowest estimations are more than high enough to satisfy my schadenfreude. It’s always nice to see your enemies fail, politically and financially.

The article got a fair amount of attention, including the above comment from “Anonymous.” While I don’t think that video games are particularly important, the same is true for all consumer products, and I have quite a bit to say about videogames as an entertainment medium...
