Editor's Notes
- Our panel was tasked with answering the question: “How can companies, creative producers and developers prepare for a digital economy?” My answer is – with video games. This talk is about games in two ways. First, it’s about games as content – new things we can do in digital media, that we couldn’t do before the digital era. Games should be a major component of that. It’s also about games as content management. In the era of the fat data pipe – ubiquitous 100mbps connections, or fiber optic direct to your home – there will be a LOT of data floating around. I polled the room – of about 100 people in the audience, about 20 were tweeting, blogging, or taking digital pictures that they intended to post online. That’s a lot of information. And massively multiplayer games have some lessons for managing that information. But first, games as content.
