Interesting statement. I trust you speak from experience to give advice like that? Because so far @poopipe 's take sounds more believable to me. After all it's a job that's quite easily outsourced and swamped with 'good-enough' competition.
Interesting question. I see two possible ways of doing this: Develop new tech and license it out. Start a game studio yourself and create a unicorn like Minecraft. I myself have toyed with the idea of one day creating a pipeline company where a studio develops a game and that company sets up custom tools for managing…
I'm glad we got the beeple shit out the way. I think the outsourcing discussion is very interesting because when I hear @Neox say: I read that as: "Studios are looking to underbid and over-promise" which has been my experience with outsource studios AND working for a contracting company in film VFX.

I run a very small digital production company (I've got 4 employees) and am looking into how to expand this little business into something a lot bigger. I've been getting job offers from companies such as Ubisoft, Gameloft,…
Starting a boutique outsourcing studio is probably the most realistic way to make a decent amount of money - you have to compete on quality though because the large Chinese and Indian providers are unbeatable on scale/price. That puts you up against people like Airborn - who are very good The biggest problem is going to be…
See, this right here is the romanian mentality: how can i get rich from this? not how can i further develop my skills and become one of the greats... not how can i create a sustainable long lasting business that maybe will hit n digits in x years... but how can i make a shit load of money with minimal investment, now.I…
