| Mar 24, 2008 ~ Interviews |
| Joe Ybarra, Senior Vice President of Strategic Operations at CME, recently talked with Gamasutra about the choices the company has made and how they will pave the road ahead. |
Here's a snippet from this extensive interview ...
Stargate is actually, of course, our first product, and it's the one that's the most visible product, but if you look at what it takes to be a real player in our industry, part of what's made the better companies successful is the fact that they have scale.
Quite a bit of that is, if you have a project like Stargate, and you have probably a large team working on it, and the project ships, what do you do with all these people, regardless of whether it's successful or not? So, typically speaking, if you have a one-product company, that means that a lot of people are either laid off, or they have nothing to do until you've completed a pre-production.
When you have multiple studios, it gives us the ability to shift people and resources around, to get better leverage over what we have. So, to that extent, it's a good idea. As far as the quantity is concerned, a lot of that goes back to the investment strategy of the company, for the investors to get the return on the investment that they'd like.
