Video Game Publishers

Who makes the video games you play? Probably a team of artists, programmers, designers and writers at a big video game development company. Video games are a big business and it shows no signs of slowing down. As more and more people pick up the controller or download video games, more and more companies spring up to meet the demand. As gamers increase, video game publishers and developers increase as well.

In the past most commercial video games had teams of one, two or three people. Now sometimes as many as two dozen individuals commit their time and energy to create the video games we play. Writers, artists, 3D modelers, physics programmers -- the list goes on and on. Specialists in nearly every field imaginable must be brought in to work on a video game.

Video Game Companies

Some video game design/publishing companies are massive corporations with offices spread across the globe. Others are in small buildings tucked in the woods or inconspicuously seated in a suburban area. Each company commits themselves to creating video games as a business. Sometimes they specialize in sports video games, make role playing games, or just cash-in on movie tie-ins and other big business jobs. Types of video game publishers vary as greatly as the games they produce.
