The Interview By Kixeye - Taking A Stab At Social Gaming



During my time in Silicon Valley I witnessed a culture of never ending competition, startups and acquisitions while working a brief stint at a tech company. What else is Silicon Valley known for? The birth of of social gaming, a field which has generated plenty of controversy for the gaming industry as a whole, especially with the ruthless focus on the bottom line: Money over everything, including gameplay and originality.

Kixeye, one of the companies in the field trying to change that stereotype just released this video poking serious fun at all the other competitors and company personalities out there. The most obvious target of their ire being Zynga, dubbed as 'Janka.' I haven't played their games on Facebook, but if their amazing website is any indication of the types of games these guys make, I'm pretty damn impressed. Their Command And Conquer flavored 'About' page is pretty damn incredible.
