fatfoogoo’s own Stevie ‘KillCreek’ Case as interviewed by thekoalition

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

What GDC would be complete without copius amounts of both written and video interviews?  Well our very own Stevie Case was no exception, and Hip Hop Gamer Gerard Williams and  thekoalition.com crew lay down an interview not to be missed (I believe we might even be able to call it gangsta).

Direct from thekoalition article:

Some of you know her as Stevie. Some of you know her as Killcreek. Some of you know her as the gamerchick who pwned the Quake creator. But now to her many list of aliases, Stevana Case should be known as a businesswoman. Stevana is the Vice President of Business Development over at fatfoogoo. To take a quote from fatfoogoo.com, “fatfoogoo is game commerce. From trading platforms to commercial ecosystems, we monetize your game.” They are making game companies plenty of cash money, but they still got time to hold it down with the gamers. Check out this interview that my man Hiphopgamer and the Koalition did with the lovely Stevana Case. Trust me. It’s worth every second. Be sure to head over to fatfoogoo.com to learn more.

Chinese online gaming market hits $645 Million in Q2

Monday, August 18th, 2008

A recent press release by Digitimes places the combined market value of the China online gaming market at $645 M (4.43 billion yuan).

With an explosive growth rate, this places the market at an 11.2% growth over Q1, and a 65.9% increase on the year.  Big players Shanda (Who recently partnered with THQ to release Company of Heroes in a microtransaction format), Netease, and Giant (formerly Zheng Tu) took the top three spots respectively.

While the Chinese output is already an impressive showing of growth, with more and more chinese titles being filtered, translated and repackaged for North American shores, one can only wonder if the sky truly is the limit for Chinese developers?  Will these titles in combination with EA’s Battlefield Heroes, and ID’s Quake microtransaction based games finally break the mold and lead to overall acceptance by the North American gaming community?  Only time will tell.
