Costikyan on the Press’ Relation to Game Marketing

Greg Costikyan comments on how the lack of press interest in a market, such as board games, mobile games, and so on, is bad for creativity in the market: what ends up being created and marketed is all about branding, not quality. The example he gives is the endless production of crappy board game tie-ins.

Not really news, but always interesting to hear it from a video game luminary.
