Interesting words from the man who designed Gears of War: “The whole ‘old guard,’ where you get a Game Informer cover and an E3 reveal, is dead… I’ll never make another disc-based game for the rest of my career, and [at E3] they’re trying to woo buyers from betdog Target and Walmart?”(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); At this point it’s a common sentiment: the world of indie game development is packed with designers who exchanged the high-octane world of AAA gaming for freedom and flexibility, and all sorts of pundits have declared that consoles as we know them won’t be around for many more decades.
