Study: Two out of three in U.S. play casual games - Joystiq

sink — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 16:57:45 PST

"The report, from research firm Interpret, estimates that 145 million U.S. residents aged 12 to 65 played casual games in 2007. That's almost two-thirds of the roughly 222 million people in that age range. And just because they're casual games doesn't mean they're played casually -- the report estimates players spent an average of 5.1 hours per week on casual games in the fourth quarter of '07. That's nearly 740 million man hours spent playing casual games per week, outpacing activities like magazine and newspaper reading."

SimCity Source Code Released to the Wild! Let the ports begin... - Fear and Loathing

sink — Sun, 13 Jan 2008 07:39:11 PST

Why more of this doesn't happen, I don't know. Old games die, no question about it. But companies can let them be reborn by open sourcing them after they're really dead. What a great way to build recognition of your company and your franchises!
