I still think a well-spun linear storyline has a greater chance of earning out in foreseeable real-time. Most of what is being plugged as the advancing frontier of the digital age (rather like the guy in Ghostbusters who muttered “print is dead” in 1984) are like these weak little sorta-rock bands you see on SNL these days-lots of floor pedals, and techy-looking props, but usually a weak (and often prerecorded) sound that nobody will recall in 15 minutes. I think the same thing applies to this field… Entertaining, but not exactly Led Zeppelin…
