<\/a>The QCF Design team (L to R): Danny Day, Marc Luck and Rodain Joubert.<\/p><\/div>\n
As for the SA gaming market as a whole, Day says that a new take on the competitive gaming segment would benefit the industry.<\/p>\n
\u201cGet rid of the MSSA and focus on growing audiences for competitive gaming instead of trying to fleece players for membership dues,\u201d said Day.<\/p>\n
While the industry is healthy, Day elaborated on the point that there is still much more room to grow.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe distributors are doing okay, retail stores are growing locally, our internet access is getting better. These are all good things,\u201d said Day. \u201cThat doesn’t change the fact that the local gaming market is tiny though. Sure, I wish it were bigger, but from a business perspective there’s no reason to target the local market in the hope that being from SA is a good thing in their eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHopeful young game developers always think they’ll get super-rich if they make GTA-JHB or the perfect Morabaraba implementation, but they never take into account that they’re competing with all the AAA games Megarom and co. bring in every month for a very limited pool of game-buying cash in local pockets.\u201d<\/p>\n
Day re-emphasised the use of the internet and explained that SA devs need to find their unique idea to compete on a big platform.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s much better to find something you’re really good at doing and compete on that scale globally, and like I said: The internet makes that pretty easy these days.\u201d<\/p>\n
