I'm feeling down. It's old news but I'd held hope that turn based games could survive, rise up like a phoenix. Now I realize that's not gonna happen. The once great giants have caved in from the pressure, leaving only a few gems to be shattered. Eventually they will succumb to lack of funds and take the hint that nobody wants to take time to plan. No one wants to have time to breath. Players don't want the ability/requirement to control the flow of battle. Then they'll be gone, and I'll be left alone to replay SNES games that I've already played 15 times.
 
Oh well. At least there's still Atlus. Maybe they can hang on.
