I just did my own quick math from googled numbers, Bioshock Infinite type of game wins sales for at least 2 quarters - roughly 100 million dollars more if you assume (just for this quick check) all…
Hello Yozora, mobile phone games are part of the games industry. For someone trying to get a start in the industry I'd say keep your options open. If you can get a start in mobile games and the job is good/fun then take it, you can always change jobs later. Keep in mind that if your ultimate goal is to work on a AAA next…
