He continued, “There’s been a fundamental shift towards web based games and MMO’s which has now reached a tipping point in the west. There’s no turning the clock back.”
License sales for Unity have increased by 100% in the past 6 months – a firm indicator that the company is poised for rapid growth. Recently announced research showed the market for online games hit a peak of 87 million users in the month of May 2009 in the U.S. alone.*
