Games suffer from 'geek stereotype'. Video game makers need to make their products more fun if they are to appeal to a wide audience, say experts

I dreamed a widescreen epic last night. Sometimes I was directly in the
movie (although not participating, just there), sometimes I was in my
seat in the theater watching. It was about a mad general leading an
army east through Russia towards a confrontation with a (never-seen)
Asiatic, Genghis Khan-like figure. The film combined elements of
Eisenstein's "Ivan the Terrible", "Doctor Zhivago" (particularly the
colors, it had specifically early-sixties colors), "Patton", and
Kubrick's unmade film project about Napoleon (which has a kind of
reality in my mind's eye, enough to dream about). In fact, the general
looked a lot like a much taller Kubrick -- also a little like Pavarotti.
He was always shot from a low angle, and the camera would follow him as
he stormed around being autocratic. There was a confusion in the dream
about whether the general was the star of the film, or the famous
director of the film, or both.

I guess the "herding cats" aspect of the IGDA is in fact axiomatic.

I'd observe that false hope is the coin in trade for AI, game developers, CEOs and the US Government, and that the people who generate it are called "Leaders" - so get out there and LEAD!

I definitely think game developers are headed for prolesville. In fact, the
many actual working, non-Editorial Board of Fancy Pants developers I know
are ALREADY THERE. They work longer hours than anyone I know, and though
they claim to (and probably actually do, kinda) like the types of
environments they're in, there's more than a touch of Aesop-style irony
about their really being forced to live in the lightless, almost woman-less,
snack filled gameroom of their dreams.
