Torna il listone di StartupItalia che comprende i professionisti – talvolta giovanissimi, altre volte un po’ meno, ma tutti accomunati dal desiderio di innovare – che stanno permettendo al comparto italiano dei videogame di farsi largo nel mondo della creatività
Dopo un giro attorno al Sole riproponiamo nuovamente il nostro listone sulle persone da seguire nel mondo dei videogiochi. Sono ormai anni che StartupItalia prova a mappare il settore italiano dei videogames, che si compone per lo più di startup, ma solo 12 mesi fa abbiamo deciso di dare un nome e un volto ai tanti professionisti che ogni mattina si alzano col solo scopo di divertirci, informarci, innovare… insomma, permettere all’intero settore di compiere un piccolo passo in più.
La nostra lista sulle persone da seguire nel mondo dei videogiochi non ha pretese di essere un’opera conclusa e chiusa: tutt’altro, resterà aperta alle vostre segnalazioni e correzioni, che potrete inviarci sui social o alla mail di redazione (redazione@ …il resto lo sapete).
Leggi anche: Quali sono i migliori videogiochi italiani? I vincitori del Drago d’oro
L’anno scorso l’elenco comprendeva 142 nomi: in 12 mesi siamo arrivati a 174 e chissà a che numero giungeremo col vostro aiuto. Molti professionisti li abbiamo intervistati (dov’è stato possibile lo abbiamo segnalato anche nel listone), molti hanno scritto direttamente sul nostro magazine e altri siamo certi li intervisteremo a breve, provando i loro videogiochi: non vediamo l’ora di conoscerli, loro e le loro opere!
A cura di: Alessandro Di Stefano & Carlo Terzano (così sapete con chi prendervela se non siete dentro)
