Effects of Technology on the Game Industry
1. Advancement in technology means that developers constantly have to switch between hardware to maximise their game's sales, for example nobody would buy a game on the PS2 now, as the PS3 is much better quality and more technologically advanced.
2. Advancement of technology does however help the developers, as coding for a game with some of the depth that is shown in games today is so much simpler than it would have been trying to fit all that data on for example a Gamecube.
3. The hardware developers constant race to create the biggest and best console can only be good for the industry, as innovation only serves to improve the industry and increase demand for these new consoles and ways to play.
4. The changing market can discourage people and potential workers to join the industry, as if they learn the wrong programming language then they may be completely stuck when the language has moved on when they come to find work
