I think it's gonna be hard for video game companies to keep up with demand with those major layoffs, Karen "Kay" Ross. But Hollywood has a lot of movies that would be great as games (and vice versa)....

After the runaway success of the video game to film (and vice versa) these last few years its going to be fascinating to see how this relationship morphs and builds over the next decade, especially with gamers maturing as the core audience.
Will let my Phoenix peeps know. Have a great meetup, Suzanne Bronson!

Sam Sokolow does 'lower cost of delivery' mean a better market for truly independent productions?
Geoff Hall and Sam Sokolow I hope that is the case, making it better for creators. When I think of these kinds of changes I think of newspapers, and news outlets, and the terrible degradation of quali...

James Hoey Thanks. I know Sam talked about us not being able to stop progress, but I think we should be careful not to confuse movement, with progress.
