Welcome to episode 147 of Independent Misinterpretations - a Smalltalk and dynamic language oriented podcast with James Robertson and David Buck.
This week Dave and James talk about how an overly burdensome set of development processes can take a moving project and grind it to a halt. Risk aversion, when taken too far, can simply halt all possible progress and create bigger problems.

With Watch Dogs pushed out until spring, what's the next big game I should be looking forward to? I have high hopes for the Bioshock Infinite DLC, but I'd like something to engross me the way Skyrim did....

You know how vendors keep telling us that DRM is just fine, and won't possibly cause us any grief? Well... about that:
“Dear Batman Arkham Fans Microsoft has begun the process of closing down Windows Live services over the next year. To make sure there is no interrupted service, we will be moving the game to Steam for verification and update services for both the Base and GOTY versions of Batman Arkham Asylum and Batman Arkham City.”
“Unfortunately, you will not be able to continue playing from your current save. You will need to start a new game.”
So all of those movies and TV shows you've bought over the years? Perfectly safe, because Apple is a big, safe company - just like Microsoft :)
