Uh, I'm supposed to take a listicle seriously, on a listicle syndication site whose mission statement is, "America's Only Humor Site"? You're sure this "article" isn't just a big joke? You know, it was the gamer CEO who was blamed for the fall of Telltale games. www.theverge.com/2018/3/20/17130056/telltale-games-developer-layoffs-toxic-video-game-industryThe thing is, analyzing how the gaming industry is vulnerable is a worthwhile thing to do. The cost trend is not conducive to maintaining growth, or even flat revenue -- which, from the Wall Street perspective, is the kiss of death. Recurring revenue or alternative models, like crowdfunding, are needed to sustain growth. That's an article I'd like to read, but I'd like to read it from the WSJ. Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't BioWare founded and ran by a pair of Canadian doctors until the ME3 ending controversy forced them to resign? A gamer CEO is not any better than a non-gamer CEO IMHO someone who isn't a gamer might see things that the gamer CEO will miss and vice versa. its an appeal to false authority. The idea that gamers know more about running a business and making a video game vs someone trained in the field.
