Good morning GS fans...
I thought I'd quickly pose a question for discussion...
"If you have dreams of running your own Games Company, what business plans have you got to get there?"
Last night I watched a great documentary on the BBC about the founding of Facebook. Lots of Mark Zucherberg Interview footage and comparisons of real life and 'The Social Network' movie storyline. I love that stuff. I hardly slept after watching it, trying to conceive of a $100 Billion idea. ... I guess for the time being a games company would be my best shot. To start off I can keep trying to build a small hit using GameSalad, then once I have the funding promote myself to Games Director and pay programmers, artists and musicians to create my vision...
Now to achieve that one small hit... as always it would be great if there was some more time, and time costs money...so perhaps finding a crazy silent investor is the way forward...
And in all honesty, I don't think I need to quite achieve $100 billion... maybe just a $10 million games company will do...

Investors aren't always the best way to go. In my experience, they always want to much in return. Yet the funds do help out and there are major perks and major down falls too.
I'm currently in a partnership with two investors with my next game that is starting in January and they have been extremely helpful/generous. I just now have to find the resources to help me put the game together because its a huge project. On the bonus side, they do give you alot of exposure.
