[Bryan Ma · Rating 3 out of 5]

2003 was a long time ago in game industry years. I started in the game industry in 2006 and it corresponds really well to my experience from then and I probably would have benefitted from reading it, but even with some topics being relatively evergreen, this is more of a history book than anything else.
