Spot On: Social Anxiety →
This quotation by Bogost really made me double take.
“There are certain industries in which the majority of revenues come from the minority of the customers,” Bogost said. “Without citing numbers, it is generally incredibly sinful, morally questionable industries that are like this: alcohol sales, gambling, and tobacco. And we might want to ask ourselves what we think about that. When you have a game that does not have a spending cap and the vast majority of revenue is coming from a minority of players, 10 percent of players generating 90 percent of revenues, how do we feel about that?”
