Re: The problem is bigger than 343.

In Response To: The problem is bigger than 343. (Kermit)

: I think by focusing on 343 you're somewhat guilty of hype yourself, while at
: the same time understating the problem. 343 is one developer in a huge
: ecosystem that has some systemic issues that are beginning to come to a
: head--issues that have been brewing for a very long time. It's not a given
: that bigger and better games can be delivered on a predictable schedule
: forever.

: http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2014-11-19-solving-the-aaa-crisis #

The article was focused on 343 because that's where it hits home for a lot of people, including the audience and myself. The problem is obviously larger than them, but stepping out lamenting the general state of the industry dilutes the import. Each the day there are more and more articles describing the overall situation, such as the one you linked, but I want the MCC to be fixed. I want 343i to be fixed. I want Halo to be fixed. So that's where the piece focuses, aimed at the Halo audience.

The message at the end -- stop pre-ordering, stop buying season passes, etc -- can and should be extrapolated out to the larger ecosystem.
