Re: Midway & video games vs. interactive net games I wonder whether solo or 2-player video games are becoming passe, given the success of interactive games over the internet like Everquest, distributed by Sony. Amazingly, Everquest players are indeed very happy to pay $25 or so to buy the game itself, then $10 per month to play the online version with other players. Contrast that with a game that can be "solved" (ie., just read a cheat sheet and you know when to click which button, etc.). This lead me to do a text search for "Everquest" and I came up with this interesting article someone kindly posted. It makes for very interesting reading. I think the final conclusion at the end of the article will make the value investors on this thread smile :-) techstocks.com
