As usual, Raph Koster’s got another shocking (for us clueless old-school gamers) post .  This one’s basically just about the linked photo: it’s a rack at Target full of game cards for games and worlds such as WoW, Club Penguin, Flyff, Zwinky, and so on.

So, yeah: today’s younger gamers don’t go to Toys R Us or EB to buy their games.  They go to Target to buy their game cards.  I’ve known about these cards for a while– you’ve gotta have a credit card alternative– but I had no idea they were getting so popular.  People lamenting the demise of PC gaming have simply lost track of it: it moved when they weren’t paying attention.
