The Game Industry Is Hip!

49

There is a Reuters article about the game industry and how it's shedding its geek image. Right. The only real example being offered is EA, where they are hiring animators and such from Hollywood. If you've ever seen a behind the scenes documentary on TV or DVD, you know that these people are the same type of geeks as game industry people.

"In our industry we have people who are recognized as the consistent producers," said Steve Dauterman, general manager of EA's British studio. "I wouldn't be surprised if one day they become superstars like Steven Spielberg, but right now they're known within the industry, not outside."
Seems pretty unlikely to me, what do you think?
