The Long Tail

Recommended Posts

Sorry for this again, but Andy Baio's waxy.org/links is becoming my favourite site/blog ever... I'm constantly finding great stuff there... This I actually found linked to in some other site, but I started from waxy:

The Long Tail

Forget squeezing millions from a few megahits at the top of the charts. The future of entertainment is in the millions of niche markets at the shallow end of the bitstream.

A great read about the (near) future of the entertainment industry. Probably applies to games as well.

The writer of that article is writing a book on the subject and is documenting stuff at his weblog http://longtail.typepad.com/the_long_tail/

Check out the first entry there -- 3D printing elements from 3D games.

How it applies to games?

Here's one opinion

And this was a good article too

Hooray for niche markets.
