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. As with every part of the world, gaming as a pastime has increased in popularity in Africa but are gamers being left behind by big name companies from Europe, Japan and the United States? And how do African developers plan to fill these gaps in the market.
