IGDA Casual Games SIG, Whitepaper and Quarterly 9
Dubane writes "After launching just over a week ago, the IGDA's Casual Games SIG has just released both the 2005 Casual Games White Paper (2MB, 125 page pdf), as well as the inaugural issue of the Casual Games Quarterly. The White Paper is the work of over 30 volunteers in the casual games space, and the list of contributors reads almost like a who's who of the industry including; AOL, TryMedia, Skunk Studios, Large Animal, Pogo, Shockwave, Garage Games and many others. One of the most interesting sections for developers may be the Games to Market section which asks the same questions of 18 different publishers and gets answers about a variety of topics including Commission Breakdown (50-65% rev share from Garage Games) and even who/how to contact each company. The Quarterly focuses entirely on technology and consists primarily of Oberon, iWin, PlayFirst, HipSoft, Reflexive and Skunk Studios answering questions about their development platform and technology."

Wow, I've seen stories on Slashdot For Grownups [technocrat.net] get more comments than this, despite them having something on the order of 1/100th of the user base of this quickly devolving pit.
Remember when Slashdot actually did post stuff that mattered? I bet if your user ID is more than 50,000 more than mine, you don't, as I barely do, including my IDless days.
And so Slashdot continued to decay, crappy story by crappy story, 10 dupes a day.
Here though, I want to at least earn my karma hit, since I know it's coming. I don't particularly give a shit, but I figure I might as well get some bang for my buck... ahem...
FUCK YOU, SLASHDOT!
And Zonk can go suck a big dick, too.
Thank you.
