WE’RE REALLY HAPPY to be a part of this latest Develop 100 and celebrate the range of creativity and innovation that the games sector continues to be responsible for. The past few years have been
“The past few years have been tough for games businesses but an economic downturn has not hindered innovation and with so many exciting businesses in the Develop 100.”
From Bungie’s Destiny and follow- ups to Grand Theft Auto V, to the next hits from casual giants King and Supercell, 2014 promises to have something for everyone
tough for games businesses but an economic downturn has not hindered innovation and with so many exciting businesses appearing in this latest Develop 100, it looks like this trend will surely continue. It’s also amazing to see the
range of businesses, with many smaller and micro studios creating major innovative games alongside well established names. Developers like Supercell and King have honed the in-app
purchasing model, and Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto V has become the best-selling entertainment product of 2013. Meanwhile, platform holders
like Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony are launching fantastic outreach programmes making it easier than ever to develop diverse games and content and sell these titles on the new generation of consoles.
NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS We’re here to help support businesses of all sizes that are responsible for all this creativity and innovation by having a strong voice representing games companies to policy makers, other sectors and the investment community.
