Resumen
The video game industry earned $8.85 billion in revenue in 2007, almost as much as movies made at the box office. Much of this revenue was generated by blockbuster titles created by large groups of people. Though large development teams are not unheard of in the software industry, game studios tend to have unique collections of developers. Since content creation is such a major part of game development, game studios spend many resources developing tools to integrate content into their software. Scripting languages are an integral part of both game development and modding, and their design has huge impact on both correctness and performance of the resulting game. Game developers earn money from the titles that they publish, not the engineering problems that they solve. Therefore, anything that reduces technical challenges for the developers and allows them to create more content is a welcome innovation.
