Weekend Confirmed 103 - GDC 2012 special
by Garnett Lee, Mar 09, 2012 7:15pm PSTWeekend Confirmed goes on the road to the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco and finds some long-time friends of the show to make it a doubly excellent episode. John Davison of CBSi joins Jeff and Garnett for the show, with 8-4 Play's Mark MacDonald and videogame editorial ninja Billy Berghammer tag-teaming the fourth chair. Along with some of the topics of the day from the conference, the group catches up on a long list of games. Halo 4 and the newly announced Wreckateer highlight take top honors from Microsoft's recent Spring Showcase Event, the first look at Medal of Honor Warfighter also gets its due, SSX springs back to the forefront of the discussion again this week, and there's much more. Special thanks to CBSi and GameSpot for graciously opening the door and allowing Weekend Confirmed the space to record the show again this year.

But on a serious note its interesting how much do you think the indie download market can grow/continue/sustain. As garnett mention that success story is much rarer than advertised. This notion of we don't need marketing if we can get some buzz out there. What happens with the hundreds of thousands of games that don't get the word out. Whathappens when you end up in the middle of the phone book amongst a sea of names. You can't live on ramen forever sooner or later you do need a job, and the indie market is a risk for many so it's interesting to see either this year or next if it's all just a bubble.
