The Marketplace Recognizes Game Makers

Video game ombudsman Kyle Orland has a short post up describing an American Public Media 'Marketplace' piece discussing the increasing clout of the games industry. From his post: "The piece focuses on the increasing respect games are getting as both an artistic and business force. The reporter, Jeff Tyler, provides a good mix of hard numbers, market analysis and trend spotting."

Of course, that's how it goes

Of course games are gaining more respect. That's what naturally happens when OLD PEOPLE DIE OFF, and are replaced by YOUNG PEOPLE WHO GREW UP WITH GAMES.

It's just like the acceptance of Rock n Roll, or any other "scary" pop trends. (Scary in the eyes of old fuddy-duddies). It takes time but eventually the people in power will have never known a time without video games, and all this brouhaha over violence, etc will go away. But it will take time.
