VIDEO GAMES!!!!!

Personally I don’t play video games very often, (I might play for like an hour or two a week) but I really loved how the film we saw in class showed how many people truly care about games, and how many recognize that it is a medium of art and how it can reach people just like movies, t.v shows, books, etc.

This film also shows the hardships that independent video game makers have to face, and how they face many of the same obstacles that independent film makers have to face in the entertainment industry. It showed just how much work goes into games making just one video game for some large companies, it can take up to 3-5 years for most video games to be made.

Large companies have hundreds of artists and employees working their butts off to make a game that in the end will not have any mean, and is made only to make money. That’s why I think it’s amazing how the small independent companies, with very few people working for them, are still able to make money and keep their creativity side instead becoming just like a large, close minded company that only cares about the bottom line.
