No huge posts from me today… but interesting nevertheless!
MSN is reporting on the video games industry and how the recession is effecting it.
In an unusual turn of events the video game industry is being heralded as being strong and growing in the face of a recession. Mostly due to the fact that we gamers tend to want to play games instead of spending money on other junk… At least that’s my take on it!
Snippage from the conclusion of the article (for you people who don’t like reading the whole dull thing):
“In the short term, then, there is ample evidence that the video game business may well prove to be stronger than most others. No one is going to do better than companies producing cheap liquor, of course, but in the technology world, it may be tough to identify a sector that could better persevere than video games.”
Go forth and enjoy the read, if you’re the type to enjoy long winded ramblings of the market analyst style…
