Discussion Panel: Is it worth creating games if you could do something else and be equally successful?

 

At this round table, the gaming industry veterans will talk about the reasons why they still practice game development and bring up the questions inevitably facing those studios that become financially independent and gain international recognition: should we go on making games? And if yes, which games and for whom? Can we change the world through games? And if yes, which types of games can do that? All these questions will sound odd, theoretical, while your main motivation is to prove to the whole world that you know how to develop games and can feed your family with those money you earn working in this industry. However, if they remain unanswered till you make your first million dollars, the risk of putting on a motto “develop game to simply gain!” will be too high. So you would then need to spend years trying to find the way back to your initial motivation.
