Fewer programmers needed
Economic downturn; parallel worlds. Consider the sad fate of the automotive industry, where we’re all going to pay (again) for mediocre product. No choice for the consumer there. And then the parallel: one of the larger videogame firms has decided to lay off hundred of programmers and artists due to economic downturn. The main product mentioned in the news story mentioned Need For Speed, which involves virtual automobiles. Mere chance; I think not.
