diversity in games
Feature: Could another video game crash be a good thing?
What doesn't kill you only makes you more diversified, lasting, and profitable.
I somehow doubt our power-house of an industry will ever face another crash quite like the fateful 1983 one, but stalling Wii sales and countless developers claiming bankruptcy clearly indicate that video games are not recession-proof. My question is, “Could a crash actually be good for the health of our industry?”

Random: Fight ignorance with ignorance!
The most effective way to enact change.
So I just read this article over at Gamasutra, and I’m really quite astounded. You really need to check it out for yourselves. But the jist of it all is a GDC rant delivered by Smartbomb co-author Heather Chaplin, who accuses game developers of being “fucking adolescents.” She goes on to explain how games will never be art if men continue to project their violent and sexual adolescent fantasies on the games they’re developing and calls for more diversity in the workplace to remedy this stagnation.
