you have good content

Thanks a lot... I appreciate

Aaa game is not mainly money matter, money can't always buy standard, some games were spent on but ended up been bs, it's about talent and willingness to use the talent.(. Story writing, physics and graphics) for game production.

Yea, if Nigeria can sponsor some serious-minded Nigerians to go study all the aspects of game development then come back and teach people here. They'll be exceptionally good. See what Nigerians do just with YouTube free tutorials and other free online materials. If they get trained they'd be way better. Imagine if the work force of naughty dog for example, are Nigerians working on a game. They'd be no need to pay anyone to do anything. Just to buy materials. Most expenses of a game are mostly to pay workers and actors.

You forgot esports dummy

einsteine:
Ehm, no.

Nigeria does not need a triple A video game.

This is the same problem Nigeria had pre-independence. Our best brains studying useless courses like English literature and Classics while the best brains in Singapore and India were studying Engineering. Yeah, it would probably be good for the individual who wants to make video games to make video games as he would be more fulfilled and happier. However, what is good for the individual is not neccessarily good for the country.

Nigeria needs innovation in pharmacy, chemistry, engineering and agriculture.

Pls let this thread go

I'm more amazed that you took your time to write this rubbish. Video games are a form of entertainment and nothing more. So many grown men waste valuable time playing silly video games that doesn't enrich them in anyway. Why should Nigeria even have a video game title Aren't there more Nigerian youths already languishing away by gambling? Video games leads to lack of productivity and that's the last thing a society needs. Abeg there are already too many forms of media fighting for our eyeballs, we don't need more of them.

When Jesus wept, he wept for many different reasons, after reading your post, I think he wept for people like you with no brain . Oyibo 12 year old dey make game rank $2 million a year. More money than Shell managers earn in there entire carrier. Instead of you to ignore the post because you obviously don't understand a thing he said, you decided to display your ignorance/illiteracy in the market square. It's alright.

Haha... I feel you bruh (no homo)

We need a robust gaming industry in Nigeria, no question about it. The naysayers know very little about gaming as a hobby, passion, business or otherwise.

And as for the "what we need now is" crew: we can do more than one thing at once. Even, wow, make a video game that tackles current societal problems? Imagine a mod for Cities: Skylines or SimCity that showed Nigeria or a City Simulation/Management game built from the ground up that tackles are unique societal, political and socio-economic issues head on.

Games are just for play or entertainment, they have educational value.

The only issue I see now is "when." I don't think it's an "if" we will have a AAA gaming industry in Nigeria but "when." I would hope we made it happen sooner rather than later.

The points about laziness and selfishness are spot on by the way. We might be incredibly hard workers in some aspects of our lives but we might also be incredibly lazy when it comes to seeking and implementing alternative ways of thinking, to talk less of taking action. To me, that is the crux of our laziness: we're too lazy to think of something new and when we do, we're too afraid of making the necessary moves.

Scroll through my precious posts on this thread and stop displaying your lack of comprehension. Just because a 12yr old boy made $2 million doesn't make video games a productive part of society. For every dollar he made, millions more people have lost even more. Your logic and analogy is completely out of whack.

I cannot be censored no matter how many times I'm banned, I will return afterwards to enlighten lost souls. It is my civic duty to rid society of ignorance no matter how hard and no matter the persecution. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

That's good to hear. I'll love to know if you'll have the same opinion after a decade's worth of ban but I probably won't be hear anymore for you to share your thoughts with again.

Anyho! Enjoy your time in the clink

Yeah, just as thousands of Nigerians loose more from every million Seun makes. And Zuckerberg's Billions are ill gotten, because Facebook is doing more damage than good to the society. Are you listening to yourself? Don't game companies pay millions of dollars in taxes to the government? What about employment? They need alot of talented developers and artists to design these games, Rockstar games have more than 1000 staff excluding contractors, how many has your government employed? Game companies also work with the military to program simulatiors for training do you know that? Yes and also airplane simulatiors. So next time you use a flight, note that somehow, a game developer assisted in the training of that pilot.

You have no idea what you're talking about, do your job and stick to it. Don't hate on game developers because you think people who play games are wasting their time. There are people who love it! Don't try to kill the idea because obviously you can't! I'm not interested in movies as much, that doesn't mean Hollywood is usless so I go preaching to people how stupid it is to watch movies.

There's reading and then there's comprehension. It seems most self proclaimed "gamers" on nairaland seriously lack comprehension skills. Now go back a few pages and read OP's post and now read my previous posts. I've said it before on this thread and I will gladly say it again no matter how many times someone pretends to act as if they don't understand this very distinction: Video games are nothing but a form of entertainment just like gambling, and when analysed as a sum of its parts, it is an unproductive venture for society and the OP is wrong for suggesting the Nigerian government should Invest millions of dollars in creating a AAA video game title.

Your analogies are fraught, just because the gambling and porn industries hire thousands of people as porn stars, clerks, janitors, producers, bartenders, engineers etc etc, does it make it a productive part of society a government should Invest into?? Stay focused young tiger, I will be here to direct you through the right path though.

Like many before you, 'another one bites the dust.' You bit more than you could chew and now whine for mercy. I see you couldn't argue any further as I've hopefully made you see the flaws in your thought process.

Y'all should just let it slide. Ignorance is bliss

It's actually funny how a country that doesn't have an existing video game industry is talking about AAA titles. We have isolated start ups and developers making mobile and PC games and those games can't sincerely be rated a "D" (if there is any rating like that and if they are worth even rating at all). The issue with this thread starts right from the topic. Not even worth discussing.

Let me humor you in hopes that you'd be reasonable.
The topic of this post isn't time bound. Maybe you guys should read the post with an open mind and not to want to criticize.
I am aware of mobile gaming companies in Nigeria... Trying. The post starts from there. The post tried to address reasons they'd never outgrow the bottom of the game chain.
Nigerians are very talented and when there are no enough support and encouragement, one wares off.
Get?

You're a big fool for saying that. This is why nigeria will never grow, because of dull youths like you. OP made a very good point.
Video gaming is a very big business around the world. Do you know what "Esport" is?. It's basically playing games for the entertainment of other and making money doing it. A lot of American kids are quitting School to became "Professional Video Game Players". Do you know what "Twitch" is? It's a website where people pay you just to watch you play games. GOOGLE the gamer "Ninja", he makes almost 300 Million Naira a Month (yes a month) from people watching him play games.
Esport a Video Game playing Competition is going to be in the Olympic in 2020 (GOOGLE IT) and people are going to win medals from playing games and you're saying shit like Donkey. We Nigerians really need to grow up.
