This Week in Business is our weekly recap column, a collection of stats and quotes from recent stories presented with a dash of opinion (sometimes more than a dash) and intended to shed light on various trends. Check every Friday for a new entry.
During last week's GamesIndustry.biz Investment Summit in Seattle, former PlayStation boss Shawn Layden cited "the entry of non-endemics" as one of his three biggest concerns about the future of the video games industry, jokingly referring to them as the "barbarians at the gate."
The other two, if you're interested, were consolidation's impact on creativity and rising costs. But today, we'd like to dig a little deeper into the non-endemics. Who are they? What are they doing in the games space? And how might they disrupt the status quo?
