With today's video I'm planning to do what is hopefully the first in a series of videos looking more into the Japanese Game Industry using both data available across many sources as well as my own work experience in the industry.

Today's video is a little lighter as we look most at the work conditions in the industry as a starting point from which we will begin to look more at how this impacts the industry and why the industry is in its current state over future videos.
