Lessons from video game businessmen with fantastic :shittydog: track records, starting tomorrow with none other than Brian Fargo: https://www.gamesindustry.biz/artic...ten-part-video-game-mba-video-series-tomorrow

There's also less dubious ones like Ian Livingstone, Chris Taylor (presumably of Total Annihilation), and Alex Evans (co-founder of Media Molecule). Unfortunately Feargus didn't get the memo.

Brian Fargo kicks off ten-part Video Game MBA video series tomorrow
GamesIndustry.biz will host a new video series featuring lessons and advice from industry luminaries such as Fargo, Todd Howard, John Romero and Randy Pitchford


Tomorrow, GamesIndustry.biz will publish the first of ten video interviews with some of the industry's leading developers. The new series, called Video Game MBA, was created by trends expert Scott Steinberg and the team at the video game consulting firm TechSavvy.

A new episode of Video Game MBA will drop every Tuesday for the next ten weeks. The first features a 30-minute conversation with Brian Fargo, who founded the legendary RPG publisher Interplay Entertainment in 1983 and inXile Entertainment in 2002.

The first interview - like all of the entries in the series - focuses on essential lessons and advice Fargo has drawn from a career that spans decades in an ever-changing creative industry.

Other videos in the series feature contributions from Bethesda's Todd Howard, Gearbox Software's Randy Pitchford, Oddworld Inhabitants' Lorne Lanning, Doom designer John Romero and Shiny Entertainment founder David Perry, among others.

The full list of interviews to be released over the next ten weeks is below. Those with two names will feature both participants in conversation with each other about their careers and experiences.
  • October 9: Brian Fargo

I am a big fan of Ian Livingstone, although I did wish he would have stuck to Fighting Fantasy books instead of going to video-games.

I really cannot wait for Garriot's speech, when he gives his valuable and inspiring insight, and somebody asks in the audience why he made SOTA.
