Robert Green's Blog Expert Blogs

I don't have a lot to say about myself, but I often have a lot to say about videogames. I've been playing them for over 20 years and managed to convince someone to pay me to make them in 2005.

Comment In: Nvidia's Android handheld costs as much as a Wii U [News - 05/14/2013 - 09:28]
I 'm not sure who ... I 'm not sure who their market is at any price. The shield seems like the solution to a problem few people ever had. Especially so in a year when multiple new consoles are probably launching, how many people with hundreds of dollars to spare will see this as the ...

Comment In: Free-to-Play is A-OK [Blog - 05/01/2013 - 01:58]

@Phil Players are willing to ... @Phil Players are willing to pay as they play, I think the top iTunes charts show that, but I agree there definitely is room for different types of games using that revenue model. r n r nIt 's a nice thought, but my concern is that there isn 't room ...

Comment In: A Game Without God [Blog - 03/29/2013 - 12:30]
Sorry if I crossed a ... Sorry if I crossed a line there. I 'm speaking primarily from a viewpoint of what believers profess to thinking about god, but as a non-believer, I can 't claim to know that there isn 't something that could be described as a 'common experience of believing '. If there ...

One thing potentially backing up ... One thing potentially backing up your concerns regarding pricing is that while everyone in modern society is aware of the idea that you get what you pay for , this has almost never been the case when it comes to media.
