AW: [IGDA Mobile-SIG List] Business - Consolidation

[Christopher Kassulke]

Doubt that only big sharks will survive. Most of the big sharks have one big
problem "game developer resources".

If the big ones do not start REAL publishing and distribution they will have
a problem in the near future. You cannot sell the thousand version of
Bowling, Solitaire, Jump&Run, etc. 

How could I miss that huge buyout from Jamdat. Nice step and a good chance
to enter finally the European market.

Seems that mobile industries become every day bigger but only big shark will
survive ... Thanks Roberto
