Original Question

Which is the best Computer Gaming Company?

Q. First off, DO NOT RECOMMEND OR SUGGEST ME BUILDING MY OWN PC. I DO NOT WANT TO.

OK, now that was said, which is the best company to buy from? Digital Storm, Maingear, Alienware, Velocity Micro, Stealth Machines or Origin PC?

PS if you do not know any of these companies, Google them. Thanks

A. I absolutely love it when people suggest Alienware, because it proves they don't know anything about computer companies. And are just trying to get free points with a half-assed answer.

Alienware customer support is absolutely terrible, know why? They are run and owned by Dell. Dell customer support is most nine times out of ten terrible.

DO NOT go with Alienware, IBuyPower, CyberPowerPC, or Widow PC. Period.

The ONLY company's I would buy a gaming computer from are Falcon-Northwest (www.falcon-nw.com), and Maingear (www.maingear.com)

Reasons? Their craftmanship is outstanding, they build their computers from the heart. (corny, I know). They treat customers problems(if they even have any) as if it was their own problem, and will go out of their way to fix it. If you have a problem and call their company, an actual TECHNICIAN will answer the phone. Someone who builds computers for the company will answer the phone. They also stress test your machine before shipping it and benchmark it to make sure it runs perfect. The final reason is they only use the best computer components in their machine. Nothing is reused.

I haven't done much research on Digital Storm, but from what I've read and seen their machines are top of the line also, and their customer support is great as well.

Do intellectual property laws apply at all across international borders?

Q. I recently read an article about a Brazilian computer game company copying an American computer game company's products in a clear and consistent manner. But does the American company have any remedies? The companies' products are mostly or completely through facebook, so it would seem that the Brazilian company does not have an entity in America, rather it can operate remotely, in Brazil, and American consumers navigate the web to them. There are no physical goods and therefore no need to have subsidiaries across the border. Does this sort of thing fall under our trade agreements?

A. No. International copyright does not exist. It is Country by Country.

Original Question

What type of business should I start?

Q. I figured I had three choices, more so wondering what is the most lucrative and easiest to start.
1. Digital Sinage Company (Idea to use the technology and sell it to bars)
2. Consulting Firm (Possibly Advertising)
3. Computer Gaming (Software) Company
4. Financial Firm (Current Stockbroker)

Thanks!

A. I would do computer gaming for the following reasons:
1. There is a huge customer base for almost any kind of game or gaming addon
2. You can start small by doing simpler gaming addons then expand to doing parts of games with other groups or an entire game on your own
3. There are a lot of tutorials and free programs such as GMax with which you can quickly begin making games and gaming addons
4. By finding some good vendors you can have them make installers and license keys for you so that you can release your product faster
5. Small gaming companies constantly merge with other groups which is a great way to be able to make even more great products
6. Almost as soon as you release your product (depends on how often your vendors send payments, some do it once a week, others once a month) you will start seeing income right away
7. With many of the skills you learn from this you can do contract work as well (For example, I do gaming addons for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, but with what I have learned from making addons I make twice as much every month doing simple side jobs such as setting up new flight dynamics, setting up websites, consulting as a paid beta tester, and assisting in the development of advertising videos)

I hope this helps with your decision
