THE FUTURE OF GAMING
One of the things that drives our love of games is that it’s an ever-evolving medium. The industry just refuses to stand still or keep playing within
familiar boundaries. With each passing year, we see tech companies and game makers coming up with new concepts, whether individually or in partnership, that send the collective creativity of the rest of the industry spinning off in new directions. There’s always a new paradigm changing event around the corner. So, as we mark two hundredth issues and reflect on gaming’s past, we thought it made sense to cast our minds forwards to what we might expect to see in games™ issue three hundred or four hundred. Where is the games industry going, how tied is it to the trends or rhythms of the past, and what new ideas are simmering beneath the surface that could change the way we play going forwards? We’ll explore it all inside these pages with the help of industry experts.
