Martijn, thanks for capturing these words I didn’t even realize I had thrown out. Now I can use them again. I went to the Come Out and Play Festival Last weekend and I felt that this divide between character and issues driven mobile media is widening as most of the mobile games featured there were shorter, simpler, “snackable” mobile media. While the social aims of Big Games are often admirable, the play fairly quickly denatures any complexity to the story. Thanks again for you great summary of the talk.
