  • Hollywood has to change

    I like how they talked about Hollywood Studios needing to change their thought process on producing only big budget films.

    The Game Industry went through the same thing in the mid-2000 with AAA or nothing. Then Steam and Indie Studios changed all that (even though Studios like EA and Sony still stick to the same old formula of milking their franchises).
