I did not realised that the computer game industry is so huge at $11 billion a year. And that is more than Hollywood. And I did not realise that the computer game industry surpassed Hollywood over 4 years ago.
So do you people play them?
Here is a short paragraph from the main article.
http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/fun.gam....ap/index.html
SAN JOSE, California (AP) -- The video game industry was once an afterthought in Hollywood, at most an ancillary source of revenue like action figures. The people passionately developing the computer-based form of entertainment were seen as dorks compared with the celebrities.
Not anymore.
Now that games have matured into a $11 billion business, topping movie box-office sales and siphoning television viewers, the lucrative and increasingly influential genre has attracted more star power than ever.
