I just gotta say, I am really going to enjoy this class. I already enjoy the teachers teaching it. And you do have a point about what you said in class. Learning IS so much easier when you are actively learning i.e. playing games while learning. One of the best advice ever.

I agree! I dont know much about video games to begin with so i am excited to learn the business aspect behind them.
