I don't even know how to feel about commercial display of grief. Eric Clapton's Tears In Heaven always made me feel icky. I followed this games development a bit. At times it seemed laudable time like right now it seems taudry. From the outside it looks like they are trying to monetize their kids death. Dragon isn't a tour de force, it doesn't need a documentary but they can sell a documentary.

I'll easily pay 15 dollars for a two hour game. I don't have much gaming time if I'm taking care of myself right and a good two hour experience is fantastic. I enjoyed The Stanley Parable and Gone Home more than most films. $15 isn't all that much for a few hours of entertainment.
