SSX was a product

Remember when everyone was making things for the love of the game? Well stop that. That time never existed. To some extent that time will never exist. Even now you're watching a video I made under the knowledge that it would bag me a decent little pay check. You don't know it, but you're the little piggy chewing down on whatever ends up in your eye mouths. Or maybe ear mouths if it's ended up on your second monitor while you scroll waiting for tomorrow to start so that you can scroll waiting for tomorrower. Who's to say. Much like SSX that financial incentive might not have been the only factor that drove me to wax nostalgic for almost an hour, but the knowledge that this is an asset that generates cash can't be ignored. Perhaps that makes you feel icky. Yucky. Statistically it's made one of you make poo poo in your daipie. It is however the reality of the creative business, so today I'd like to talk about one product that's both trapped by and reflective of the environment it was made in. Strap in folks. Snowboards don't work without 'em.
