Interesting story, but the comment about video games being a young
medium in the early 90's really got my hackles up... By the early 90's
the Atari 2600, Intellivision, ColecoVision, about 1600 arcade games,
a video game market crash (and its subsequent re-birth with the NES)
were already old news.

One dunderhead sentence like that is all it takes to make the rest of
the articles fact-checking suspect.
