    I think I'm going to use one of my new favorite quotes here. "There are miles between perception and reality."

    Sure, there is profit involved, but these men are not fat cats burning hundreds to light cigars. I had a nice visit at the show with Marc(0) and Trent at the Texas show. That's the largest seller of parts and largest distributor of games in the USA. While my impressions from a short visit does not equal inside information about profit margins, neither gave the impression that they are killing it like Wall Street CEOs. Both of them built businesses by hard work for many years. Those business don't run themselves without them. My overall impression after 5 years of meeting people and talking to various levels of industry members is that everyone is making a living and glad to be doing it.

    I wish games were not this expensive, but I'm very happy to see so many good games rolling off the line.

    Quoted from pinbum:

    Fine with me if Stern loses some profits, i would like to have a new game at a fair price.

    The games weren't as good when times are tight. Remember Avatar, Batman, 24 and CSI. I'm okay with profit and Metallica, ACDC, Walking Dead, and Ghostbusters.
