Protesting From A Gamer's Perspective

Isaiah Taylor of ITBrog.com writes: "With this weekend's Occupy Wall Street protest in action, one wonders if such an act would work in the gaming culture. Maybe current political activist can learn a thing or two from the gaming community. Does voting with your dollar always work?"

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.
