I bought this book so I could check it out to see if my 14 year old son could benefit from reading it. He enjoys playing interactive video games online and has fantasized about the notion of turning that into a career at some point in the future. He is well aware there are some in the gaming industry making a significant income and he wonders how. So I bought this book to read to see if it would be something beneficial to my son. Immediately I could see that it is full of incredible insight from someone who has worked/lived/excelled in the gaming industry. Full of valuable information and also lots of fun behind the scene stories about several industry insiders. I quickly handed the book over to my son so he could start reading. He's pretty into it (...which is saying a lot for a teenage boy these days). He's learning a lot about what it takes which should help him if he decides to go in the gaming direction. I highly recommend you get this book if you have a child interested in gaming as a hobby/career. Quote
Overall I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the video game industry. Whether you are a gamer, looking to start a creative profession, or curious I'd highly recommend this book. 10/10 A+ book.
Now my son plays videos games religiously with the advent of online gaming as a means of socialization. He's kicked around the idea of somehow finding a profession in the gaming industry. I heard about this book from a friend and was reading it to get educated on the professional possibilities that could exist for my son. I love how Michael Change "demystified" the notion that you have to be an engineer, scientist or coder to find a lucrative opportunity in the gaming industry. "
You are all about games. Maybe you just like playing games. Perhaps you dream of making a career out of it. But your <insert person> (grandparent/parent/teacher/sibling/friend) think it's just a waste of time. They dismiss your dream of working as a gamer as unrealistic. They think you are crazy. They think it is stupid. How do you prove them wrong? Well, throw this book at them! Course before you do that you should read it first.
Writing is never easy and entails exposing yourself for all the world to judge. In this book, Michael Chang has told the world who he is and what he is about with great honesty. It is well written and easy to understand. A book worth having for any gamer. If nothing else, you can always hand people a copy and say, "you should read this before you judge me."
Really good read. My kids are interested in the gaming industry and I scoped this out to help them / myself figure stuff out. Pretty sure this industry is going to continue to grow like crazy and after reading this book i definitely felt more informed. Would definitely recommend for all interested ages.
As someone wanting to break into the Gaming world this has been a really insightful read, and I imagine it would be just as much so for anyone in the gaming industry already, who wanted to see a different perspective. I took away some great questions that will help me build my goals for this year, and some amazing detail on the ins and outs of the gaming world.
I'd highly recommend for anyone wanting a better idea of what it's like to thrive and survive in the world of games, and those seeking inspiration and empowerment in moving into, or around, the industry.
