The Impact of Episodic Gaming
GameDailyBiz has a piece up looking at what episodic content is, and what it means to the future of the games industry. From the article: "Our age is one of aging. Mainstream gamers are now older on average than they have ever been. When you are single and unemployed, it is easy to play The Godfather for nine straight hours the day the game hits the shelf. When you are married, it becomes tougher. When you have kids, it might be impossible. It is difficult to slice some time for yourself. And in that slice, you have to carve a portion for gaming. It is no wonder casual games that require no more than 10 minutes to play continue to grow in popularity. This is why we are more likely to login to Call of Duty 2 on Xbox Live to play a quick five-minute Team Deathmatch and leave the Lobby."
Get a divorce and let them have sole custody of the kids... BAM! instant gaming time attained!!!!!11
When the old lady is out, I have to debate whether to spend my freetime with pr0n or gaming. She hates both with a passion. Marriage comes with so many sacrifices. *sigh* Enjoy your single life while you can, you youngsters!
