"The games industry is different from other technology sectors in that it's viewed as an artistic pursuit in addition to a technology-based one. Of course, technology is employed to write the programs, but art is central. To create good games, a developer should have wide ranging skill sets. Everything from English and language skills to history, to mathematics, and art help one succeed in the gaming industry. To create games you have to be a Renaissance person." -- Chris Melissinos
