$350 Million for an Online Penguin Game

Jesse Schell of Schell Games has a few things to say about some of the shocking successes of the past year, including Farmville, Mafia Wars, Webkin, Gamerscore points and the online Flash-based penguin game that made $350 million last year. He thinks what no one realized is that people want their fantasy game experiences to tie into reality.

Definitely worth your 28 minutes.

It feels like that old SNL skit.

"Interested, Interested, Very Interested, Extremely Interested, Not so interested, Kind of Repulsed, Utterly fucking terrified."

Wow. That presentation is going to be make 5,000,000,0000 points for someone, maybe for a lot of people.

What would Gary Gygax think if he were still alive?
