My friend Nabeel organized a fun and interesting event last night called the Future of Gaming. It was held at MIT.
He invited a number of well known game designers, developers, entrepreneurs and industry folks to get together and talk about the opportunities and challenges in the future of gaming. Lots of opinions about how games will be financed, created, distributed and monetized in the future. There was also some entertaining discussion comparing VCs to publishers that made some good points but generally the comparison doesn't work.
In honor of one of Boston's coolest gaming companies, Nabeel had Guitar Hero set up and we had a chance to rock out.
But best of all, the local gaming scene in Boston is very strong. Long history of gaming companies from Boston and lots of new startups too. I think Nabeel mentioned that there are 50 gaming companies in Boston these days.
Thanks to Nabeel for making it happen. I hope he blogs about it soon.
