I'm shocked. Shocked.

"If we're just going to rely on the blockbusters to get us through, I think that's a death sentence"

Excellent points as always by Shawn Layden at Gamescom Asia, as he laments the loss of the AA space and the industry's focus on monetisation
Shawn Layden: "AA is gone and that's a threat to the ecosystem going forward"
