The end of publishing

By on March 17, 2010

This presentation was created by Penguin in the UK for an internal presentation and distributed in the wild when it got popular. It gets clever half way through, so make sure you watch that far.

I don’t agree with all of it. In fact I don’t agree with the very last sentence, at least not without some radical changes.

But while this is aimed at books, it absolutely strikes at the heart of why games publishers are in so much trouble.
