Scott Miller Interview
Eurogamer has publised the second part of their interview with Scott Miller of 3DRealms. One of
the better pieces I've seen out there in a while and well worth a read as Scott has some
pretty good insight into where the industry is heading. He's been around for a while.
Eurogamer: One of the more interesting tidbits in a recent New York Times article was an Activision official revealing that their average game now costs $4,000,000 to develop [snip]
Scott: "It's headed for further stagnation. Publishers will take less risks as costs rise, and we're going to see more sequels and fewer new games that take chances by exploring new styles of gameplay. With the cost of games rising so high, fewer developers will be able to afford to make the games they want to make, and be under the publisher's thumb to make games in genres that are safe and proven."
