Video games can make you the hero of a story, let you escape from your problems, or simply be lots of fun to play!  Playing video games has become a primary source of entertainment for both young people and adults around the world.  Where did video games come from, and how has the gaming industry changed over the past few decades?

Last September at the Beijing American Center, the former General Manager of the Beijing studio of the global video game company Electronic Arts talked about the history of the video game industry.  He also shared his experience starting a Chinese video game company and gave advice on how to develop games in China that will be popular in countries around the world.  If you missed this informative and insightful lecture, here is your chance to listen to it any time and place you want!
