Here are the guild names that players picked and the games that each guild
would design, as shown in Table 8.2.

I confess to a prejudice against the small group of genres AAA titles tend to fall
into: Survival Horror, Post-Apocalyptic, Post-Tolkien Fantasy, and Science Fiction.
Happily, casual games and some AAA titles widen the field, but when I look at The
King sSpeech nominated for 12 Academy Awards this year and Black Swan ,

another independent film that is enjoying a great box office, and notice that the
demographics of video games is widening radically, I can only hope the publishers
of AAA titles will be more willing to widen their horizons.
