I’ve gone ahead with a cunning plan to do a video instead of a regular blog post for my next-year prognostications. Unfortunately, it’s the first time I’ve tried to do this in a setting like this, and as a result it’s taking longer and running into unforseen difficulties. No shocker there, but it won’t be up for a bit yet.

That whole ‘unseen difficulties’ thing made me think that I should link to T=Machine, which recently posted two of the most thoughtful discussions of the MMO industry I’ve read in some time:

• Does it lose money when you do that? Then don’t do that! – A discussion of MMO business models and pitfalls. Stuff Raph and Co. have been harping on for a while and a great argument for the kool-aid I drank early in 2008.
• Customer Relationships and Support for Online Games and MMOs – Variations on themes Sanya’s been putting out there for some time now, and well worth a readthrough.
