Online Game Pioneers At Work

There was a prior book called Game Pioneers At Work. The one I read seemed to be a sequel of sorts. This was documented people who started online gaming companies. The stories were varied. Some were interesting. Like one dude was into building simulator for the government. He leveraged the business into making games for the general public.

Other parts of the book focused on how the companies were created. One guy worked for mega game maker Electronic Arts. Then he saw the advent of the iPhone. He knew he needed to make a company to get an early start on producing games for the iPhone. Turns out after a few years, he sold the company to another Japanese company. But then I think he went back out and formed another new company.

This book helped me pass the time for a couple train rides.
