The producer or director must be in the same room as the actors to judge one against another. That's not the case for gaming talent.Aaron Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06397235341719388657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34126572.post-25222470558700598752008-10-13T15:33:00.000-05:002008-10-13T15:33:00.000-05:00It's an interesting idea, the Mecca of game develo...It's an interesting idea, the Mecca of game developers! However, I think the internet and the way long-distance collaboration and outsouring is going, we'll never see it -- The fact that half of Blizzard is in France, Rockstar is all over the place, Japan has the history it does, and that indie games are now so viable, suggest that location isn't as important as it used to be.<BR/><BR/>A huge part of the centralisation of creative industries was because you had to make contacts... actors had to be discovered by directors, script writers by producers. So they all ended up in the same place. With the internet now, we don't need to do that (as much).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
