gGDA-Atlanta Chapter Meeting May 13 at GSU: Why do game studios fail?

Why do game companies and projects fail or switch directions altogether? What do you need to know? Join us for this research-based discussion. 

Over the past two years, Jay O’Toole, an Assistant Professor at Georgia State University’s Robinson College of Business, has been studying the video game industry with special emphases on dynamics and outcomes of game development projects. Jay will be providing a talk about insights he has gleaned from his field work, including surveys conducted of over 1,000 startup video game companies and the participants from the past two Global Game Jams.
