I gave up on console games after I read an article about how 80% of computer games bought are never finished. I don't really have much time to spare on games any more and find my gaming needs are more than catered for by browser based flash games. (Then again my idea of the perfect gaming experience is an entertaining and only mildly taxing point and click adventure.)
Anyway, seems to me that spending so much time and energy on flare effects and 3D physics and primo voice talent and cinematic effects is draining the industry of money. But nobody can ever get enough of things like Tetris, sure you might get sick of it for a bit but one day... one day... you are looking at those old falling blocks and you can't resist one more rotate and slot.
You want to absorb the costs of the used games market? Or damage it? Stop making vapid eye candy people bore of in seconds. With all the spare budget you have finance the production of your new more playable, less sugar frosting games.
Pretty impresses for ten minutes. Substance makes something a keeper.
According to that story the IWF's decision not to block Amazon was "pragmatic" (see the story for Wikipedia's opinion of that word choice).
They also state that they blocked Wikipedia because of a specific complaint about that instance of the image. Surely one of the quickest ways of causing trouble for this organisation, therefore, would be to lodge an official complaint with them regarding Amazon's use of the same image.

So if the RIAA decided to try rebranding they could try changing their name to "Pizzo Hut"? It's catchy.
