Empowering Aspiring Gamers: The Story of IGC (Invision Game Community)
Inception and Evolution:
IGC (Invision Game Community) began as a humble blog in 2011, initially created as a platform for friends to voice their opinions about the games they cherished. Over the years, this modest initiative blossomed into a vibrant Games and Entertainment website, fueled by a passionate group of volunteers from around the globe. These volunteers, ranging from students to devoted gamers, share a common aspiration: to pen down their thoughts and ideas, creating content they can be truly proud of.
A Humble Beginning:
The foundation of IGC was born out of a genuine desire to provide a space for unfiltered game discussions. Our roots are grounded in camaraderie and genuine enthusiasm, eschewing the pretenses of a professional media website. Instead, we strive to be a community-driven haven, where individuals can revel in their shared passion for gaming and entertainment.
Empowering Future Talent:
Our journey took an intriguing turn when our site owner, during his university years, consistently encountered a disheartening refrain from employers: “Unfortunately, your application has been unsuccessful.” This refrain was often attributed to a lack of ‘relevant experience.’ This common narrative sparked a mission – to bridge the gap between academia and the professional world.
The Academic Outreach:
In 2013, we pivoted towards engaging with local universities and schools, enlightening parents and young minds about the multifaceted landscape of the gaming industry. We dismantled the misconception that gaming only entails playing games, unveiling a realm teeming with diverse career opportunities. This outreach revealed an unexpected enthusiasm among students, many of whom aspired to create their own blogs and contribute their insights. The seeds were sown for a platform where students could hone their skills and acquire real-world experience.
A Commitment to Growth:
Our commitment to providing a stepping stone for students and graduates to enhance their portfolios became the cornerstone of IGC. Our purpose solidified: offering opportunities for budding talents to gain meaningful work experience and fortify their resumes. Through collaborations with remarkable partners such as NetworkN, ZERGNET, Allcdkeys, TSOHost, and Sucuri, we expanded our reach and influence.
Unleashing Potential:
Every student who contributes to IGC is encouraged to unleash their creative ambitions. We believe in fostering an environment where everyone can flourish, with avenues to establish personal blogs, websites, streaming channels, and more. This ethos emanates from our belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to blossom and eventually forge their path.
Why Companies Should Engage:
As our community flourishes, we’re on the lookout for partners who can provide products for review. This symbiotic relationship enables our volunteers to garner experience, enjoy gaming perks, and bolster our content library. For companies, it’s a chance to tap into our rapidly growing audience and contribute to a platform dedicated to nurturing talent.
Why Students/Graduates Should Join:
Navigating the competitive job market demands a robust resume. Many enter the workforce with minimal practical experience, placing them at a disadvantage. We address this by furnishing students and graduates with invaluable opportunities for hands-on experience. Our community members relish the chance to earn games, peripherals, and exclusive event access. We facilitate interactions with game developers and publishers, fostering an environment of growth and networking.
Looking Ahead:
As we journey forward, we envision a future where our volunteers not only gain experience but also reap financial benefits. We’re committed to amplifying our volunteers’ voices and ambitions, translating their dedication into tangible rewards. We remain indebted to our readers, volunteers, and partners who have shaped IGC into a dynamic hub for passionate gamers and writers.
The Path Forward:
Join us in our endeavor to redefine gaming news and cultivate a dynamic community.

And if you’re a student or graduate, seeking a platform to grow, learn, and make your mark, we invite you to be a part of our ever-evolving journey.
