Gaming Africa

Kobby Spiky explores the challenges for gamers and developers in Africa.

Kobby Spiky explores both the challenges and opportunities everyday gamers and developers run into on the African continent; from a lack of native servers to a boom in mobile gaming.

And how do African developers plan to fill these gaps in the market.
