Regardless of how you feel about what went down with the Columbine game, it was a good way for indies to get exposure and recognition. Luckily, as you mentioned, Indiecade seems to be stepping up nicely in its place. The unique thing which Slamdance provided (which I don't see getting replaced) was exposure outside of traditional gaming circles. That will certainly be missed. Maybe Sam can find a way to rescue it for next year. That’s really a shame.
