I know I’m not the first person to notice this but I’ve been saying for a few years now that the video game industry is in the same sort of situation that the movie industry must have been in at some point. From what (little) I know, sometime around the 1920’s the tools of making movies finally started to stabilize. I see a similar thing happening to the games industry. The process of making games is starting to be fairly well understood, including the tools, processes and even the social dynamics of the people involved. At some point the filmmakers stopped building their own cameras, developing their own film, and found a system that generally worked for making and selling movies in a reliable manner. Something much like that is bound to happen to videogames.
