bettyandbob Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 not just programming Creating the games requires story telling and art creation what else There are professional players Who runs the tournaments commentators coaches (some universities are creating teams or have them that will compete under NCAA requirements) I know the big name games in tournaments are Starcraft and Overwatch, but Age of Empires is coming back too. Anyway, I know very little. Where do all the directions of this industry reach. I have a need to understand because I'd like to be able to participate in conversations with certain younger people I know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonhawk Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Game testers, streamers can do well but it is not easy and being a pro reallly helps, analysts both for teams and for companies, artists (computer-aided mostly), user experience teams , then all the marketing and social media teams, customer service. Then you have exports journalists. Lawyers seem to be big as well, since as with all sports, millions of dollars are at play. I would say League of Legends is much bigger than most, Overwatch is growing a large tournament infrastructure but idk if it will have the viewers needed to sustain it, they need to change their spectator mode if they want to actually have spectators (current rumors is this will be released soon but there is skepticism it will be good enough).

Lanny Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Look on https://king.com/ for ideas of the kinds of people they are looking for. My wife is a Gamer and she told me about that a week or so ago. I'm not a Gamer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonhawk Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I said analysts, just wanted to clarify I meant analysts looking to find best play patterns, champion matchups, items to buy, objectives to take at wha time, etc. In other words, number crunchers looking for the optimal way to play the game. Since many games tweak numbers and interactions with each patch, analysts have a full time job keeping up with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
