Gamespot reports on a presentation by venture capitalists Stewart Alsop and Gilman Louie in which they discuss the “next billion-dollar opportunity in gaming“. Their point of view is that the next big thing in gaming is a better usage of the internet and a development model closer to TV than to movie-making.
It seems these venture capitalists believe gaming needs more creativity:
“It fundamentally revolves around new gameplay,” Louie said in closing. “Without new gameplay, shinier and shinier graphics will reduce and evaporate larger and larger amounts of shareholder value.”
