My good friend Brian Meidell has launched the website for his upcoming game “Deep Blue Sea 2″. He’s a very clever and talented guy, so you probably should check it out.

Specifically if the current developer -> publisher -> customer chain will still be relevant (no). Of course it depends on the severity of the change, but the word paradigm does imply major-ass change and we do seem to be on the cusp of something.

Then this shows up. Crazy technical hurdles notwithstanding, I will consider this a strong contender for next paradigm in video games. Streaming games as video would make game development inherently single platform, which is a bit of a dream scenario from a production standpoint. Brick-and-mortars can be tossed into the nearest volcano. Customers become hardware independent. Poverty is eliminated and we each get our own unicorn.

Braid is without a doubt my favorite game of 2008 and I recommend that you play it as soon as possible; it’s  still available on XBLA at a very reasonable price. If you don’t play this game, I’m afraid the terrorists have already won.
