Through in-depth structured interviews, industry professionals discuss their roles, providing invaluable insight into game programming, art, animation, design, production, quality assurance, audio and business professions.

Surviving Game School speaks about what to expect in a top game design or game development college program, and what to expect once students get out. Making games is not at all the same as playing games. Uncommonly blunt, the book reveals the rigors - and the joys - of working in this industry. Along the way the book touches on themes of time management, creativity, teamwork, and burnout. The authors explore the impact working in the game industry can have on personal relationships and family life. The book closes with advice about life's goals and building and keeping a sensible balance between work and everything else.

What you can expect from a top college Game Design Program, from an experienced college professor
What to expect while working in the games industry, from 25-year veteran game developer.
How to find an industry job after gaining a relevant college degree
How to build and maintain a satisfying career in the games industry
A Precarious Game is an ethnographic examination of video game production. The developers that Ergin Bulut researched for almost three years in a medium-sized studio in the U.S. loved making video games that millions play. Only some, however, can enjoy this dream job, which can be precarious and alienating for many others. That is, the passion of a predominantly white-male labor force relies on material inequalities involving the sacrificial labor of their families, unacknowledged work of precarious testers, and thousands of racialized and gendered workers in the Global South.
A Precarious Game explores the politics of doing what one loves. In the context of work, passion and love imply freedom, participation, and choice, but in fact they accelerate self-exploitation and can impose emotional toxicity on other workers by forcing them to work endless hours. Bulut argues that such ludic discourses in the game industry disguise the racialized and gendered inequalities on which a profitable transnational industry thrives.
Within capitalism, work is not just an economic matter, and the political nature of employment and love can still be undemocratic even when based on mutual consent. As Bulut demonstrates, rather than considering work simply as a matter of economics based on trade-offs in the workplace, we should consider the question of work and love as one of democracy rooted in politics.

Описание: Electronic Games have become so large in scope as an industry, and so wildly popular on a global basis, that they generate more that $150 billion yearly. For comparison, this means that the electronic games industry is nearly four times larger than the total amount of movie revenues at the box office worldwide. The fact that games can be played on mobile devices is adding dramatically to their growth.> Big news in electronic games is the growing number of enthusiasts who are interested in gathering, in-person, to watch other people play them. Gaming as a spectator sport is attracting viewers in the millions, most of whom pay for the experience. This trend is known as eSports. Players can be amateurs or professionals, depending on the venue. By one estimate, global revenue for eSports will reach $1.5 billion by 2020. eSport viewing is growing at a staggering rate. For example, 128 million people watched the League of Legends Mid Season Invitational 2018 online, compared to 103 million who watched the NFL Super Bowl 2018 on television. eSports are particularly popular in China, where 135 million people watched on a regular basis in 2018. /> In late 2014, Amazon acquired Twitch Interactive, Inc., an internet video channel for broadcasting and watching people play games, for $970 million. By 2018, Twitch reported 560 billion minutes of content watched for the year, 3.4 million unique broadcasters every month on average and 1.07 million average concurrent viewers.> eSports are in the mainstream on college campuses where teams are competing in tournaments for tuition money and other prizes. As competition (and prize money) grows, a niche for videogame coaches has opened up, both on college campuses and in other tournament play. For example, Riot Games, Inc. runs tournaments in which 116 teams compete worldwide, and each of those teams has at least one coach on staff, with salaries of between $30,000 and $50,000 annually.> Special stadiums dedicated to eSports games are being built around the world. In late 2018, the city of Arlington, Texas opened a 100,000 square-foot complex named Esports Stadium Arlington. This is a logical investment by the city, as it is already the home of the stadiums of both the Texas Rangers MLB team, and the Dallas Cowboys NFL football team. A firm called Allied Esports International has planned or opened several eSports stadiums, including locations in the U.S. (California and Las Vegas), as well as cities in China and Germany.
