Current platform proliferation is great for developers, says BioWare Mythic VP

The current proliferation of video gaming hardware, from consoles and mobile platforms to social network gaming, is the first to happen for the industry that is actually a great thing for developers, rather than a period that we need to survive.

This was one of the running themes of a Develop conference keynote from Eugene Evans, VP of EA's BioWare Mythic studio, during which he chronicled his 30 years in the industry from his Liverpool-based, computer magazine beginnings to his work at BioWare now.
