The Sausage Factory Schools Gamers on Breaking into the Industry

Bethesda has opened the doors to a new series designed to educate gamers on what it takes to break into the game industry. The maiden post of The Sausage Factory, “Getting Schooled” takes a look at what type of education will best prepare potentials for a job in video game development.
