news 28 Posted September 28, 2012 Over time – and not necessarily much of it – usage of a platform can become a marriage. I trusted Windows, nee MS-DOS, guardianship over all of my precious applications which depend upon it. Chances are you too have trusted Microsoft or a similar proprietary platform holder to provide a household for your content. It is time for a custody hearing. These are the reasons why I still use Windows – and who could profit as home wreckers.

You might have noticed the countless cries for titles which are more challenging and appeal to somewhat of a niche audience. The logic should be simple: some people desire alternatives to what you produce. You are able to make a lot of money on niche content with a long shelf life. Of course I am not stupid – publishers do not care too much about long-term sales because of their reliance on quarterly financial reports. They need to justify their work to their investors and big sales figures provide that validation." Thanks! Ryan Shrout PC Perspective rshrout ( -at -) pcper.com Share this post Link to post
