Nolan BushnellNolan Bushnell @ LA Games: The Bloom is Off the Rose for Physical MediaAuthored by Jay Baage on May 15, 2009 - 11:22am.
Los Angeles – In the exclusive DMW video interview from the LA Games Conference 2009, we speak to Nolan Bushnell, one of the founding fathers of the video game industry, perhaps most famous for starting Atari, Inc. He gives his views of the current state of the games industry and where he sees the business heading (away from the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii as well as "plastic discs" in general): “The bloom is off the rose for physical media.” He also talks about one of his biggest regrets - turning down an offer from Steve Jobs to buy a third of Apple Computer for $50,000. tags: Games | Deals | Mobile | Marketing | Investing | Events | Nolan Bushnell | LA Games Conference |
