There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Compared with the destroy-or-be-destroyed arena of most video games, the world of its creators is a more cooperative kind of battlefield.
Instead of aiming to drive their fellows out of business or fight over limited resources, a firm with a successful game can help similar companies throughout the region. And every game produced in metro Atlanta raises expectations of further growth here.
“Most people buy multiple games," Georgia Game Developers Association PresidentAndrew Greenberg said. “The competition doesn't have to be as cutthroat in our industry as it does in others."
