Well, I'm concerned about the breach -- especially since I own a PS3 and have had a PSN account.
I've been unable to change my password for weeks because the network's been down.
On a side note:
Linear, non-competitive games are one of the futures of the hypertext novel. From Julio Cortazar's Hopscotch to Michael Joyce's work in Storyspace to the various narrative experiments on the DS (Flower, Sun and Rain; Hotel Dusk) and the PS2/3 (Indigo Prophecy; Heavy Rain), the progression of active narrative is clear: games are proving to be one of the last stages in unifying literature, cinema, stochastic composition and the idea of an active art. It isn't that the current arts will become less important, but rather that another important art is about to be added.
I'm looking to academic support from Canada, among other places, for lasting work in that area: The active visual novel in the hands of independent artists and not large corporations.
