A year in the making, and benefiting from over 25 years of accumulated knowledge, A Gamer's Guide to Gaming includes everything you need to gain an in-depth understanding and appreciation of the modern era of the videogame industry, all in one book.

Over the course of dozens of detailed subjects and hundreds of bite-sized topics, author Oliver Snyders leads readers through discussions relevant to the games industry today, including examinations of past and current trends to map out the likely future of major and minor players in this multi-billion dollar business, while tackling important questions regarding emerging technologies, like virtual reality, and innovations in service delivery, like digital distribution, to assess their dramatic impact on companies both striving and struggling to survive.

Using his years of experience developing games, writing about games professionally, and of course playing them and reading about them for most of his life, Oliver Snyders has carefully conveyed an immense amount of insight into the processes involved in making, promoting, and selling videogames, while providing comprehensive looks into the fascinating, inspiring, and at times loathsome gamers who contribute to the growth and decay of this amazing industry.

If none of that immense insight on offer is quite enough, then A Gamer's Guide to Gaming also provides in-depth breakdowns of the inner-workings of the games themselves, laying out cross-sections of the elements that make videogames fun, addictive, successful, and truly 'great' in the admiring eyes of their fans.
