Color me dubious. Just check out Rudin's work on IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0748784/

That's a lot of solid movies. I have a hard time believing he'd take something so solid and totally screw it up.

HBO series have a lot of credibility, in general, as well. So I'll hold my breath that it doesn't paint indie/startup developers as total screw-ups.

I'm excited for the fictional game concepts they develop over the course of the show (if it happens). And I hope they release those concepts as real games as a part of the show's marketing.

Contrary to what the article states, the current talks do not state that it will be a comedy series, but a drama.
