So the game industry is exporting experienced game developers while importing businessmen with no game industry experience to oversee the starry-eyed inexperienced juniors who remain. The only ones who tend to stay behind are the artists, because they're stuck with highly specialized skills (like animating boobs), which skews the industry's expertise in that direction.

Shit.

Well, at least I now know that I can always measure the cost of a game by the number of remote-controlled sharks it could buy me instead.

I know right? I mean, who even animates boobs nowadays?

Wait... update, since I'm still reading this thing: "Equine gamers are fairly unified in their rating." Equine gamers.
