RE: How do you feel about Amnesia putting the spotlight on Frictional?
To be honest, Frictional is only going to get more popular from here.
This is a common reaction for pretty much any media, people tend to find something special and see it as a part of who they are, and they tend to get mixed feelings when said media gains more exposure.
At this point you have to make a choice, of either embracing the company's exposure and success. Or you can decide to be cynical and bitter towards those who are just discovering and appreciating it for themselves (much like you were 6months, 1, 2 or 3 years before).
If you're worried that because of their increased popularity that you are going to get piled in with everyone else who is a fan, try and remember why you enjoyed their games in the first place, if a good chunk of it was the social exclusivity of knowing about them well you'll have to become at peace with that.
It's not like we aren't going to be able to enjoy the nuances that make us love their games, instead we'll be able to share our appreciations with others that may have alienated us before.
Besides, video game developers in general aren't like superstars, being able to appreciate them in general regards us within a kind of cult status. At least for now.
Listen to the fear, maybe it's your friend.
