A Risk Management Perspective
Business growth, the Internet and risk management in the computer games industry Neil McGregor McGregor, N. Business growth, the Internet and risk management in the computer games industry, 2013, Palgrave Macmillan. Reproduced with permission of Palgrave Macmillan. This extract is taken from the author's original manuscript and has not been edited. The definitive, published, version of record is available from: http://dx.doi.org/10.1057/9781137318411.0008 Business Growth, the Internet and Risk Management in the Computer Games Industry Neil McGregor Introduction According to Wasserman (2011) the growth of the internet has transformed the software industry in a wide variety of ways. These include the creation of new business opportunities as well as significant impacts across software business processes such as software development, distribution and product support. This chapter examines one significant sub- sector of the software industry, the computer (or video) games industry, and focuses on the impact on games development companies of the opportunities created by developments in internet and mobile technologies. The computer games industry has grown rapidly since the first games were developed in the 1960s. In this chapter we define the computer games industry to include games played on a computer (PC games) as well as those played on a games console (such as Playstation or Xbox), or on a hand-held device. The industry has grown into a multi-billion dollar global business comparable in scale to the global film industry (Johns, 2005). We will illustrate how the internet has altered computer games production networks and how the associated new business models, adopted by games development businesses, introduce the potential for significantly increased rewards.

Digital Gaming Industry in Global-Local Crossings: Comparative Study of UK, China and Brazil
Digital Gaming Industry in Global-Local Crossings: Comparative Study of UK, China and Brazil Abstract Clustering is a common phenomenon in digital gaming industry where businesses can benefit from local concentration of talents, spill-over events, resources recycling activities, formal or informal networks formed (Pilon and Tremblay 2013; Ruggill et al. 2016). In addition, digital gaming industry also possess a born-global nature (Gomez and Gonzalez-Perez 2015). Reflecting on the global-local structure, a conceptual framework on digital gaming industry ecosystem is proposed in this paper. A comparative analysis is performed against the digital gaming industry in UK, China and Brazil. As the initial stage of the project, the analysis focuses on the similarities and differences of the digital gaming industry from perspectives such as policy, culture, funding, talents, market, infrastructure and other supports. Keywords: Entrepreneurial Ecosystem, Digital Gaming, Business Growth, UK, Brazil, China 1. Introduction When video game Grand Theft Auto V came out in September 2013, it quickly broke six Guinness world records including the highest revenue generated within 24 hours ($815.7 million) and the fastest entertainment property to reach $1 billion in sales (within three days of releasing) which were previously held by blockbuster movies like The Avengers and Avatar (Lynch 2013). This achievement is a manifestation of the growth in the digital gaming industry: since mid-1980s, the industry has grown annually by between 10% and 15% (Zackariasson and Wilson 2010; Marchand and Hennig-Thurau 2013; Newzoo 2018). In comparison, the estimated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) between 2018 and 2023 for global entertainment and media industry, which the digital gaming industry is part of, is at 4.3% (PwC 2019).

The Senescence of Creativity: How Market Forces Are Killing Digital Games
The Senescence of Creativity: How Market Forces are Killing Digital Games Matthew M. White Memorial University [email protected] Abstract This paper examines the recent wave of repetitive, derivative commercial off-the-shelf games as a phenomenon posing dangerous implications for the health and viability of the video games industry, foreshadowing particularly a major crash or paradigm shift in the near future. Implicated in these predictions are the games industry's ignorance of player wants, needs, and individualities, the dangerous economic precedent of the generation of derivative works, and the evidence of gamer dissatisfaction through free and open gaming communities. The paper poses solutions in the form of player-centred game development and participatory design, arguing that facets of each may be the measures needed to allow the games industry to emerge from the aforementioned slump. Author Keywords Innovation; creativity; slump; video games industry; game production; games studies; theory; opinion Introduction In the decades since digital games first arrived in the home, the creative process by which games come into existence has undergone a significant paradigm shift. As technology, platforms, graphics and sound have become more advanced, barriers to entry have been created, both legal and financial. Gone are the days of the Atari 2600, during which any lone designer could develop and publish a game with relative ease. Today, licenses and copyrighted engines are generally required to develop for home consoles. With those licenses come financial and logistic hurdles for aspiring game designers. The lack of originality in games is well observed among those who play them; one need look only so far as the repeating series of slightly altered “license” games released each year, some examples include the FiFA series', or Madden series.
