Playing To Win: How EA Makes Games
from the like-a-movie-studio,-but-harder dept
There have been a ton of articles lately about how the one tech industry that is doing well is the gaming industry. Many people say it's a perfect mix of technology and entertainment, and is well positioned, despite the economy. The top of the gaming heap is EA, and Fast Company takes a look behind the scenes at how EA makes their games - and how they work to make sure they're successful. They say it's becoming more and more like the way a movie studio makes movies, but more difficult. There are more things that can go wrong, and more things that need to be done - but there's less room for error.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
