When will spending on games end? <<…huge global crisis…>> I think the worse the crisis the more that people will seek diversion. During the Great Depression of the '30's in the US, theaters stayed busy. People who were scratching to buy food were still able to come up with the price of a movie ticket to escape for a short time. (My ol' Grandad tells the story of how he as a young man got a job choppiing logs for a moviehouse boiler during the Depression. He and a friend split 40 cords of firewood over the summer. They were finally paid, but with rolls of movie tickets instead of with cash. Boy, was he mad…!) Jeff Eisel
