    I liked Blood, Sweat, and Pixels, though I felt he was a little too soft on some of the industry issues (like crunch). It's been a while since I read it so my memory might be off, but I seem to remember that his main thesis was something along the lines of "yeah some of this is bad, but that's just the price we pay for games we love!" I remember getting the feeling that it glossed over some genuine problems a bit too much for my liking.

    I'll be interested to see if this one has a bit more bite to it, especially given the changes in Schreier's position and the industry itself since his last book.
