Thanks for this link. I found it very interesting. The sad thing is that he is right in terms of the mass market and big companies, that all this removed a lot of abstraction layers and immersion and made games more and more like consumption a movie with less and less interactivity.
I love Matt Chat! I recommend the Matt Chat Interview with John Romero about ID Software, shareware, Daikatana and his childhood: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeFEW7akDqI I`ve got an unplugged version of that interview (about 2 hours) if anyone´s interested.
