E3's move from May to July would alter production cycle, giving developers time to create bigger, better prototypes.

What the Frak?

I remember they first decided that the 'booth babes' were dressing too sexy, so they forced everyone to tone it down. Now, they want to tone done the entire show and even move it to a new date?!

What's next, cancelling the whole show and just fedex each other product demos?

This is big business kickin it to the small guy...

This is so ESA and Big companies don't have to spend the money. They say it is because games are now part of the mainstream media and don't need big events. However, it just means that the big publishers don't want the small developers to peddle the wares they have not approved.

And this is where games start to decline in quality...

I hope they charge more for the Mac games

They say on the site...


5) How much does does Cider cost?
The business model for Cider is based on a revenue share with the publisher with no upfront fee, no risk and lots of upside potential.


Doesn't bother me personally as the last PC game I played was Homeworld...
