One of the first games that I can remember dominating my social life was Starcraft. In the 90's I begged my parents for a computer capable of playing games.

A theme we keep coming back to in the Management Café is the importance of context. In each situation there are many variables that influence what happens.

As time goes by popular titles and genres fade from vogue. The new shiny pops up stealing our attention and shifting an industry. Somehow, we still trot out remakes, updates, spiritual successors, or reimaginings of old titles to sell nostalgia. We know what they are doing but the chance to relive "The Moments!" is too good of a chance to pass up. …
