Thanks from VGOA.com!

Well the month of May is over. VGOA has been around since 1999, and since 2001 as a gaming website. Technically speaking though, May of 2007 was really our launch month. We have had over 23,000 Unique Visitors this month. Now to some sites that is nothing, but to VGOA.com that is huge. The reason being is before May our highest Unique Visitor total was 500 or so.

Also, Big thanks to sites like N4G.com and Kotaku.com for providing a great place for gamers to go for the latest in news,rumors, and media.

I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise

We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.

Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.

it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.

This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
