  1. I'd have some Q's for this symposium by Travoltus · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I hope they're relevant.

    What is more popular:
    More flash (prettier graphics)?
    More story line?
    Is there a huge market for games that have big story lines but fewer cut scenes?
    How about nonlinear play?

    Will single player games (or 1-4 on the console) continue to thrive or is the future in MMORPG's?
