Videogames morph to TV and the movies

Comic book, TV, movie, action figure, videogame. That used to be the typical lifecycle for  entertainment. It seems now this might have changed, or will change.

The WSJ reports that Electronic Arts, Inc. will be teaming up with Hollywood’s United Talent Agency to help turn Electronic Arts videogames into movies and TV shows. The purpose is to not only extend the the entertainment for hooked gamers but also make viewers aware of videogames they might not be aware of.

In my opinion, this is a great move on the part of Electronic Arts. While I may not, and probably won’t, watch many of these shows, I do think it is the proper way of redistributing entertainment that has missed out on the typical lifecycle. I think we all have to agree that what use to be the catalyst, TV and movie, is possibly switching to videogames and the Net.

What’s next? I’m sure some are looking at YouTube, social networks, and the blog sphere for personalities that might make the next big hit.
