I agree wholeheartedly with what he says in this article. I (Mr. Lunch) am also a member of the IGDA and am a member locally at the CGDA. Matthew Sakey says it much better than I have, so read it and enjoy. It is an article about the infantilism of the gaming press and a call to evolve into the serious business of gaming. As ironic as it sounds, some of us (myself included) take the playing and development of videogames seriously. When magazines and the press in general use their "traditional" juvenile tactics for the benefit of their readership it attempts to undermine the legitamacy of gaming. (please dont be fooled by that last statement to believe that the gaming world is that fragile, it is just unnecessary to have your legs attacked while running. Odd example yes, but I couldnt come up with a better one.) Oh yea, and this guy has at least some credentials, which is a lot more than can be said about some of the opponents of the gaming world. Enjoy: Culture Clash.
