Video Game Development Trends
And now the video game biz is embracing micropayments or providing less and less for more and more. Fascinating post with overtones for e-commerce, content marketing, mobile marketing, and digital marketing. http://www.growngaming.com/feature/microtransactions-new-dlc/ Via Jonathan Birkenstamm
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:
Interesting post about how video games are becoming micropayment gateways. We suspect that trend, one we observed with Harvard Business Review about five years go, will multiply and morph into many business channels.

With the growing trend of Microtransactions in video games, game companies become aware of another means of making a profit other than through the mere purchase of their games. Through distribution of digital goods for use in the game in exchange for real world money, game companies found a way to profit in a way that did not necessarily rest on the merits of the games themselves, but on social engineering and incentive for players to become sources of recurrent revenue.

Some data from a recent Game Developers Conference State of the Industry survey has got me thinking about trends in self-publishing.
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:
Interesting idea - the more we create the more we need filters (i.e. "publishers"). May be true in content marketing too.

Cool interview with Kabam's President Andrew Sheppard. Just once I want to be able to say this: "Yeah, our revenues rose 100 per cent in 2013 to almost double our forecast for the year. We ended 2013 with a ton of great momentum. Internally, there's a general excitement and enthusiasm about where we're going, how we're doing it and increasingly why we're doing it – people are pretty fired up.

Disney's purchase of the YouTube game channel with hundreds of millions of subscribers for half a billion may be a starting gun for other similar mergers if the rest of Hollywood is listening. Is YouTube the new Hollywood. Disney is hedging their bets either way.

Abigail Rocks
"The massive character made his first appearance in the Street Fighter franchise in Street Fighter 3: Second Impact. In Street Fighter V, he'll come to terrorize Metro City Bay Area once more with three costumes, a story chapter, and his own stage.
As you might have guessed by the tires coiled around his biceps, Abigail is a monstrous gear head. When he's not causing trouble, he's driving cars—and when he's not doing either, he's probably in his shop shown in his stage during the reveal trailer. His story chapter will follow his brawls through Metro City to find his missing monster truck."

Virtual Reality - So which technology do we look to, which will allow us this needed increase in reactive response? Two words: virtual reality. Via Peter Azzopardi
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:
How can we adapt "cloud gamiing" to business? Can we use the cloud to store WHO and WHERE information to "match the hatch" of where you are and what you are doing and then make a game out of all of it?

Given that true virtual reality hardware is pretty much non-existent at this point, current games are extremely limited.
