Beefjack Writes: Here we interview Brian Robbins, the Colorado Game Developer's Association Coordinator and Studio Head at Fuel Games. We get his take on the growing of the game industry along with a few anecdotes surrounding his personal experiences within. He talks at length about how organizations like the CGDA are nurturing that growth. He even talks a bit about the iPhone and it's impact on the industry and his Studio's game for it.
As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.
And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.
