Every publisher is talking about free-to-play. EA's Command and Conquer has just turned free-to-play. We have seen League of Legends, Team Fortress 2 and countless MMOs lead the way to free-to-play. Does this signal the end of buying games at retail or eTail?

I think about this topic a lot because that has often been my job, but also because game development is complex and I believe a good producer can improve products and help maintain good morale with dev teams.

I'm starting an HTML 5 profiler as part of our Innovation Friday initiative. I think HTML 5 has an opportunity to be an important format in the game industry.
