David Rippy – who is now in charge of Bonfire Studios, and leading a team of other ex-Ensemble employees – says the former Age of Empires developer went down because it had been pigeon-holed as an RTS specialist.

With the สมัคร winner55 เครดิต ฟรี 188 cost of creating games so high, studios are almost forced to diversify ทางเข้า winner55 ผ่านโทรศัพท์มือถือ​ across platforms. Aside from the financial risk of sticking to one platform or one genre, you also risk being pigeonholed in the industry.
