Article by Erin Hoffman in the Escapist Magazine

There's a great article by Erin Hoffman in issue 61 of the Escapist Magazine, an online only publication devoted to game development and culture. Erin is a local designer at 1st Playable Productions who lead our June chapter meeting. Check out the article here: Why We Haven't Lapsed.

Here's an excerpt:

Like any cultural phenom, the game industry waxes and wanes. Its attitude shifts, it grows older, gets pimples, passes some classes and fails others, grows, moves on. The past year, for whatever primal reason lurking in the dark waters of the collective ludological unconsciousness, has been one of intense cynicism, maybe even despair. And I have to say I'm getting damned tired of it.
