You can stream it from GameSpot and see whether in fact it deserved to set the Internet on fire the way it apparently has. 🙂

  1. I’m an avid user of this “internet” thing you speak of, but I have not heard a whisper about Churchhill Club. A quick google linked to some communist propoganda though.

    Do I need to report you?

    j/k

    I’m at work and can’t really access most webpages so this will have to wait for consumption at the house.

  3. The comments from the Gamespot members are a hoot. Raph Koster is showing weakness in Sony’s PS3! THE XBOX360 RIEGNS SUPREME!!!

  4. The panel seemed to float from topic to topic somewhat aimlessly so i’ll just toss out some observations. Don’t get me wrong, i don’t think this was a bad thing. It gave me a chance to better glimpse the wheels turning inside the minds of these folks who have the opportunity to steer the future of entertainment.

    I loved what Lars and Raph were saying about user generated content. The crux of this i think is a user desire to influence the experience both for their benefit and others.

    There is no doubt in my mind existing distribution channels for nearly all brands of entertainment are in for huge changes in the very near future. I happen to work in this space on the music side of the industry and digital distribution (both legal and otherwise) of entertainment fundamentally changes the business model. As Raph said we are not selling the bits, rather we are selling a service. Another way to think of it is we are (hopefully) providing an experience people are willing to pay for.

    I could ramble on but i’ll close by saying the collapse of the game industry’s distribution channels in South Korea where high bandwidth connections are available to most of the population (most of Korea’s population is concentrated in urban areas) is an incredibly poignant event. Everyone from traditional game publishers to record labels and movie studios should be considering what this may mean for existing business models.

    Any steering I do is vastly overestimated. 🙂
