The skillset you will learn during the MBA program differs from what game designer positions require. If you are looking for ways to get into game design, then the MBA is probably not a good choice.

That, coupled with an MBA, is an interesting skillset for someone who would like to analyze the gaming industry inside out and make money out of that knowledge. At least as an entry position. Take a look at Jon Peddie Research as an example. It's a not a games publisher, but they provide business reports the whole industry consumes.


> I also write Speculative Fiction.

It also goes under the names "Marketing Research" and "Industry Trend Analysis" ... |8-} Again, an interesting skillset match.
