I ran across one of Starcade's old rant threads, and realized that the
thread (quoting Watanabe as Nabeshin) had included a prediction of the
entire collapse and destruction of the industry in five years, a
prediction taken of course as gospel by Starky...

... and the thread was ten years old. A quick search shows that not
only is the industry not dead, but it's been growing at double-digit
rates in the last several years, despite the utter failure of anyone in
the industry to significantly stop piracy.

Moreover, it's been a *living* industry, changing and growing,
producing not just rehashes of the tired-old-standbys (although,
naturally like any other industry, it hasn't at all shied away from
milking any cash cow to death) but interesting new material or new
approaches to old stuff.

Not bad for an industry some thought, a decade or so back, was doomed
to destruction.
