On a sunny afternoon, near the end of the summer, two seemingly unrelated things happened in my house that, in hindsight, proved instead to be indivisibly connected. First, after a sleepless night, I finally finished <em>A Gabriel Knight Mystery: The Beast Within</em>. Secondly, convinced by a friend of his, my father subscribed to our first – extremely slow – internet connection.

Following the two dangers detailed in my previous blogs, that means there’s still one more ominous storm cloud hanging over the genre.

Not "kill" it... let's for once abandon the overused rhetoric about <em>ever</em> being dead. But you don't need to be dead to be suffering. Badly. And without some unforeseen boons in the coming months, that could very well be what we're facing.
