EA CEO Predicts One BIllion Gamers Within Two Years

[Lonko]

Old people and housewives/people playing Sims 3/casual games are not real gamers. Same as someone who knows how to run isn't a marathon runner.

The irony is that these people who are not "real" gamers (I laugh at your arbitrary definitions, by the way) don't give a fuck whether or not you consider them to be "real" gamers or not. They're too busy having fun with their games.

Incidentally, what does it matter whether or not someone is a "real" gamer? Does it make them inherently better? Smarter? More capable at life in general? Is there any point in having the Abedeus Seal of Approval? Or is simply not being a "real" gamer reason enough to justify you denigrating them?

you know what? even with the growing casual market, thats a seriously optimistic prediction. Or rather pessimistic prediction, considering the "casual" part of what I just said...

I translate this as:
Ammount of pirates = potential sales(1.000.000.000) - actual sales(somewhere around 1.000.000 most of the time)
"See? costumers are outnumbered by pirates 1.000 to 1, that's why our drm now includes a pack of c4 in the box that will detonate if you fail the sudoku puzzle on the lock."

It's about damn time we started taking over the world.
