Again, and I can not stress this enough, the presentation was not about games going away or the industry dissolving to nothing, it's about disruptive technology screwing with the traditional incremental improvements in console & portable life-cycles.

It's about the possibility of future fundamental shifts in how games are produced and the platforms that they're delivered on.

(everybody) If you haven't set aside a good 20 minutes to watch it, I strongly encourage you to do so. I don't agree with everything presented, but it's really really thought-provoking stuff if you're even the slightest bit open-minded about the possibility of change occurring, like, ever.
