What does it take to make a great game? Dr. Glenn Platt believes that it is needed much more than just game development. We need to consider the artwork, a fantastic story, its narrative, the music, and the business model, among other elements. He believes that great games have a horizontal approach, considering all those details; it is not about computer science only.
