As far as my opinion is concernd...India needs innovative ideas this time to cope up with this hurdle..So, Entreprenuers must take some action towrds thinkin abt it...Walt Disney is one of the alive example of innvotive idea by two brothers in france. Which tottaly changed the france economic picture in times of recession and made reach their innovative mouse globally. In this era of Information, we shud take step towards rising n contributing in indian economy.And it is real opportunity, we have to develop online games so that we can generate more revenues.

Manpreet, how will online games help one to bail out from recession i don't understand, to me more proper economic reforms should be in place, such that this sort of incident will never happen again, and may be online games will cheer them up with the dull situation that is there upon people. I can't agree with your comment...

According to my  perception  games industry  will be helpful for dealing with such kind of difficult situation  somewhere because by developing knowledgeable games not only people will get employment but it will helpful in boosting people's knowledge....forexample games like KBC ..... if people develop sites for such kind of games... then people can earn money as well as  can boost their knowledge.

The gaming industry is on a growth curve, and going by trends, inline advertising will only grow. Brands want to connect with customers and give them a real life experience...and video games and movies give them the ideal platform to do so.

Having said that, I really have no idea how this is going to impact the overall economy. It just might be that we are witnessing a paridigm shift here.

How will it be. Compiter online games cannot help us boost in this economic recession. I do not agree with your comment. Economic reforms are required instead of on line games. You cant sit and play on line games during recession time.
