Your Careening Career: Starting Small and Making it BIG in the Gaming Industry (Linda Carlson & Matt Higby)
Most panels focus on “breaking in” to the industry, often via CS, QA, or moderation. That’s actually the easy part – we can and will cover that in five minutes. The REAL challenge is how to plan and manage your career to evolve past “entry level!” Industry insiders reveal how people successfully move from QA tester to Producer, CS rep to Department Head, and will leave you with strong guidelines to help further YOUR career.
Wolfman Theatre Sunday 9/2 3:30PM – 4:30PM
Is the Way You Pay the Way You Play? (Linda Carlson)
Free to play?* Microtransactions?* Subscription? DLC?* The options gamers have for getting their game on have changed drastically and keeps changing.* But how do these choices affect how gamers play the games themselves and how does it affect the communities around those games?* We’ll discuss with the panelists and the audience how the way we buy our games influences the way we play them.
