University Conference Debates Games

An interesting conference was held recently at Stanford University in California. Hosted by the Stanford University Graduate School of Business, the “2010 Game Odyssey--Visions of Electronic Gaming” panel featured some strongly worded views that we think sum up the current state of the industry very nicely.

Gamespot quotes Douglas Lowenstein, president of the Entertainment Software Association, as saying that game companies “still don’t understand how the demographic has shifted,” towards the mainstream, and that the public and the media “tend to pigeonhole us as toys.”
