Re: Report To The Stakeholders
I've always enjoyed reading the Stakeholders Report - it's a window into the industry for a hobby that I've had all my life.
The part I found scary is that it sounds like the boardgame / physical game industry is starting to face the challenges that the computer game industry ran into several years ago - product flooding distribution channels, problems with quality, etc.
I hope it doesn't end up where computer games are now - a few big winners, a bunch of games that have found their niches, and thousands of games a year that get lost in the churn, or were never worth considering in the first place - games published to make a quick buck (either by taking advantage of a fad or brand confusion), dream projects done by people who find themselves in over their head and which should have never seen the light of day in the first place, or games that are just simply bad for all the reasons games go bad.
