It's been awhile since I bought something from "the big boys". The only recent purchase (well, it was a Christmas present, actually, but I was the one who put it on my list!

Suddenly, I'm reminded of an article I wrote once about movie remakes and the big studio "Hollywood" system. Rather a lot of parallels, aren't there?
In fact, here's one to start with: Indie films/games rule.
