Every once in a while, we have a thread about KI that devolves into a discussion of why MS has made certain decisions about KI. This always highlights for me how little we, as a gaming community really think about or understand the business of making games. I stumbled across this video today by Allanah Pierce (formerly of IGN) talking about EA’s press conference. I thought it was interesting and insightful and might be of interest to some folks here.

Thanks man! I’ll watch it tonight and drop my thoughts in this space over the weekend.
Yeah, definitely an interesting video. I didn’t super keep up with E3 this year (and truthfully haven’t paid much attention to an EA conference in quite some time), but the video is a good reminder of the competing interests/goals surrounding game development that a lot of gamers just totally ignore. Not everything is about “the fans” (by which I mean that hardcore vocal segment who actually watch these things), and it’s always good to keep that in perspective.
