Thanks to GamerFeed for its story noting the Christian Game Developers Conference has announced its third annual gathering, to be held in Portland, Oregon on July 30th-31st. The official CGDC site has more information on the expo, which "officially expands to include card, board and paper game developers alongside interactive electronic entertainment." There's also word from conference organizer Tim Emmerich of GraceWorks Interactive: "We... plan to examine the variety of games currently on the market and successes in other media such as 'The Passion of The Christ' and the 'Left Behind' series, which proved that Bible-based products can do well in the market if they are well made."

The big difference is that no one gives a flying fuck about Jesus. That is why the movie was crap.

Um, both the Left Behind books and The Passion of the Christ sucked donkey balls. So, no, it hasn't proven that well-produced Christian goods do well in the marketplace. There have never been any. Sort of like how in logic, you can't prove anything if you assume something that is fundamentally false, such as 1 == 2.
