Reflecting the popularity of games for the young audience, a new range of

Clearly it had big interactivity - but did all the tweeting simply distract from further innovation, by simply being a "this is what we did" exposition? In particular, I am completely missing any sense that there is now an objective to do things "universally" for the whole audience - it seems to me that things have moved way to far into the domain of special things for a small, small minority of very techie people, rather than a big majority of ordinary folk, who pay their licences!
