My old friend, game designer extraordinaire Greg Costikyan, has been ranting about the depressing state of the games industry recently. Tonight he announced that he is getting off his rhetorical duff and going to try to do something about its problems. He quit his job and is forming a new company called Manifesto Games.
| |
Its motto is "PC Gamers of the World Unite! You Have Nothing to Lose but Your Retail Chains!" And its purpose, of course, will be to build what I've been talking about: a viable path to market for independent developers, and a more effective way of marketing and distributing niche PC game styles to gamers. |
Greg is also planning to write about the whole process of launching the company on his blog. Since he's argued that one of the roots of the industry's malaise is its business structure, he intends to write publicly about the fascinating game of financing his startup. He's a sharp writer and he doesn't suffer fools gladly, so that should be...fun!
