Nice to see an indie-game story talk about Jeff Minter, one of the best indie designers out there.
While I'd like to see a company so reliant on one game -- one which spends a great deal of money to promote the game to find new players -- fail, I worry it could have a chilling effect on an entire industry.

People have the right to sell their games to second parties. Publishers and developers also have the right to give you incentives to purchase new copies over used copies.

When it comes to console games, I want titles such as Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light that I can play with my wife or my future brother-in-law -- on the couch, no fancy Internet required.
If you're a fan of EGM, you'll get a kick out of this story.
Kingdom Hearts succeeds for the same reason Dragon Quest works (at least for me): It's charming.
Isn't a dance game a cliche use of Kinect?
Sports rules aren't arbitrary!
It's important to keep an open mind, especially on info based just on a mere trailer.
I don't want headshots in my role-playing games.
This looks like something my 4-year-old would love playing with me. I dig that.
