firewatch

I've heard great things about Firewatch from serious gamers and well as those who are ungamers.  I haven't played it - our machines are too old to meet the minimum spec, but you might want to check out this from The Atlantic as well as the developer's site.  They sold a half million copies on the first day and covered their development costs.  Nice seeing something simple rather than a tech festooned first person shooter.

tough sledding for disney games

While there are still people who play games on consoles, the bulk of the market seems to be moving to smartphones and tablets- at a very different price point.  A very tough area to compete.
