The Changing Landscape of Game Production
Abstract
Chapter 8 by Heikki Tyni introduces the changing landscape of game production, with a special focus on the platformisation of game production and the datafication of game work. The role of large corporations like Apple, Google, and Amazon has become central to the increasingly data-driven production and monetisation of games, while the work of game developers has also been transformed by the constant need to maintain games as services, based on the collected and analysed data.
