Q&A: Englobe’s Edwards Talks Gaming’s ‘Geocultural Risks’ / Gamasutra

“As games become more complex, ironing out and navigating ‘geocultural risks’ becomes vital - Gamasutra talks to Englobe founder and former ‘geopolitical strategist’ Microsoft Tom Edwards about navigating cultural issues on titles including Halo 2 and Kakuto Chojin.”

A kinda interesting interview on the idea that game developers should pay attention to cultural differences during development. Largely, I agree, other than I do wish that Blizzard would put Pandaren in World of Warcraft, as then I might actually try it out!
