Don't misunderstand my position, I'm sure that GameStop will subsist just fine, and I also don't see consoles and portables going away anytime soon (nor do I want to see that), but I do see a gaming landscape undeniably altered by new platforms.

The status quo has been shaken up and the traditions have been disrupted.

But, this is a good thing. People who follow iOS and Android game development know that there hasn't been this volume and quality of creative independent game design/publication since the 8 bit computer era.

I'm all for a landscape that supports and enables that, even if it causes some fallout in the bigger commercial avenues.
