You (dead) ask us to provide a list of successful games, and then after the fact, you revise your criteria to brush off the evidence, or prophecy the certainty that they will be gone any day now. (And beleive me, in some cases, I think little enough of some of those games that I wish you were right.)To quote Willy Wonka, "Good Day Sir."Very interesting. I think he is very astute to stand against the popular conception that small publishers (or more derogatorily, Joe Fanboys, I guess) are the problem. I can think of a load of small publishers who have published things I would have never got from larger, more established publishers.But IMO, some of those need to learn a little perspective or even the better ones of those will vanish. BID.Back to the article, while it comes across that while Monte is being diplomatic, he is still complaining about shovelware from other big publishers, because he says the start-up publishers aren't the problem, but the low-quality crap out there is. And he does name a few companies who he thinks are worth the while with recent product, a list which for the most part I agree with.While I can see his point, I do think some companies who have put out less-than-stellar material are turning over a new leaf, or at least trying to.Yet some companies, large and small, will never admit that their product is in any way less than perfect, or at a mismatch with customer expectations.</blockquote>
