Gaming and New media

In my opinion there are two sides of gaming. First, there is the side that the costumers see and enjoy, which is the game platform and all the features it offers for entertainment. Second, there is the developer's side. This is much more complicated and it is a process that a lot of people do not look into it. New media has affected both sides of the gaming industry by creating online communities where players communicate with one another. Adding to this some developers have turned their game process updates into something like a blog or a wiki page, where the players can give direct feedback and recommendations. I will look in more detail all the ways that new media has affected the gaming industry and how the industry is adapting to the merge of new media platforms.
