Unfortunately for our hobby, it looks like IEMA, Infogrammes, and Activision
are working together to standardize box size and form factor. This is
depressing, as it means all software will come in double-thick DVD boxes (which
are significantly smaller than the current form factor, which means no room for
trinkets or props).
Not that there ARE any trinkets or props in games nowadays, but at least there
are usually decent thick manuals in some games, and there wouldn't be any in
the new boxes since they're 33% smaller.
PC Gamer has an article on it; would anyone like me to republish it here for
perusal? I haven't given my OCR software a workout in a while, and this would
be a nice task for it.
