I was disappointed by the most recent article on Backstage. I'm a fan of the series, and think it's one of the better features on this site, but the most recent article read more like an advertisement for Brody's games than anything else. It's a sharp contrast to "The Walls Have Eyes", which discussed privacy issues that the general audience could benefit from being exposed to.
I understand that as an essayist you often have to draw on personal experience to make the abstract concrete. However, Brody suffocates his avowed topic with digressions that are only applicable to his own game, all the while pausing to heap praise on his creations. I'm all for advertising, but I'd appreciate if it was kept to the appropriate forums.
