I really lke the idea of these, although I also think that – and SO many people pointed out that it is nonsense to bring up this fact, becasue that’s what the internet does – the devs should give a slice of the money to charity.

I mean, Tim Schafer managed to fool the world into thinking Brutal Legend was an action/adventure title, so the least he could do is drop 10% to Cancer Research. And, if anything, this would encourage more people to donate to the cause and he’d end up with more dosh anyway… maybe.

Or, they may be doing this already, correct me if I’m wrong, Mr. Smith.

On the subject of your blog, I think the fear of change and the “we’ve put OUR money into this” mentality could scare a few devs into not being bold enough. I’d prefer to invest money into sequels of recent games from struggling indie devs or bold ideas… not rehashes.

I mean, I’d even love to give EA a tenner to make Mirror’s Edge 2, major or not. It’s a game that NEEDS to be made, IMO.

Thanks mate, great read.

Digital: A Love Story sounds like the 1986 computer game, Portal. In it you are astronaut who has just returned to Earth after years in hyperspace except all the people are gone. But you find a computer and then spend the game slowly hacking into it to discover what’s happened. It’s probably the best interactive novel I’ve ever played.
