Rob Taylor is involved with the media, having studied English and Journalism he has interviewed from the highest producers to game producers.
He believes that new technologies breed new opportunities, for instance the internet has played a big part in the games industry.
Even with the recession, the game industry hasn't suffered due to the fact that everyone still plays games, whether it be your Mum with the Wii fit, your Grandad playing Brain Training on the DSi or of course your brother on the Xbox with either COD of Fifa.
Studios can range from 1 man to hundreds...
Rob went on to explain that the UK has a great gaming heritage and is the 3rd largest consumer and developer in the world (not bad for such a small country!)
If we were thinking about entering the gaming industry Rob told us at the beginning it is not brilliant for mega salaries. This starts to improve when you get to producer level. However you still get all the free games and consoles... so I'm thinking it is definitely worth it!
Rob also told us about the different headquarters of different gaming companies and how amazing their studios and facilities are. For instance some have rock climbing walls, slides down to the different floors, DJ's coming in every lunch time, basket ball courts etc etc...
Once again we were advised to get work experience, as this is key to making the right connections and getting our foot in the door.
