It is not strange at all that you are hearing the name Gamistan from us. We have created this name by combining the word Game and the post x Stan (which is the post x for location in Farsi as well as many other Indian-European countries) to describe a large territory in the history of video game industry. A territory in which developers share the same passion, motivation, geographical location and even history and culture. This territory is not de ned within the well-known framework of political and geographical segmentations we know today. But, it's a very large territory and very much capable to play an in uential role in the world-wide game development community. From India to Morocco, from Kazakhstan to Yemen as well as Turkey and Egypt will be included in this newly de ned territory. More than 2 billion people live in Gamistan today and more than %40 of those play video games every day.
