Pat McGee, Top Development and Gaming Authority, Author, and Microsoft Most Valuable Professional
This is the next blog in the continuing series of interviews with top-echelon and renowned professionals. In this blog, I interview Pat McGee, Top Development and Gaming Authority, top-selling Author, and Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP).
Pat has an infectious enthusiasm that appears in this interview. When you consider that gaming is a $18B industry in NA versus $9B for movies, you can see its continuing rise is readily apparent. In fact, it’s predicted that e-sport federations will supplant traditional sports as the most popular spectator pastime. This is happening now in parts of the world where stadiums are filled to capacity to watch on gigantic screens while e-teams compete.
