Developers On Outsourcing

An Examination of Outsourcing: The Developer Angle on Gamasutra is an
enlightening article on the extent to which certain developers make use of
outsourcing to help create their games, a practice that is controversial among
developers, as some feel this costs western jobs. This looks at the topic from
the developer's perspective, talking with folks from three companies that make
use of outsourced development: Bungie cofounder Alex Seropian (now of Wideload Games), Kuju Entertainment president Jonathan Newth, and
Shiraz Akmal of THQ's XDG group that manages that company's outsourcing efforts.
An upcoming part two will look at this from the perspective of the developers
doing this outsourced work.
