New platforms + new communities = new opportunities
The social element plays an increasingly important roll in modern gaming. The arrival of the next generation of consoles, with their strong support for online gaming and community-building, emphasize this trend - a development that can be of great benefit to the rapidly growing Nordic games industry. The conference theme for the Nordic Game 2007, ”Games Community,” will bring online gaming, downloadable content and gaming communities together in one event. The conference program will, with the aid of some of the industry’s most prominent speakers, cover the theme from a variety of perspectives, focusing on how the building of online relationships can affect different parts of the industry, from developers and publishers to researchers, from retailers to the press.
