The Marketplace Recognizes Game Makers 15
Video game ombudsman Kyle Orland has a short post up describing an American Public Media 'Marketplace' piece discussing the increasing clout of the games industry. From his post: "The piece focuses on the increasing respect games are getting as both an artistic and business force. The reporter, Jeff Tyler, provides a good mix of hard numbers, market analysis and trend spotting."

It's just like the acceptance of Rock n Roll, or any other "scary" pop trends. (Scary in the eyes of old fuddy-duddies). It takes time but eventually the people in power will have never known a time without video games, and all this brouhaha over violence, etc will go away. But it will take time.
