This is really good. The Buzzfeed story is a perfect example of the importance of non-monetary distribution costs and short vs. long term thinking about distribution.

Big news for developers today on Discord. We’ve opened up the developer preview for user installable apps as well as HTML5 experiences for apps. This dramatically changes what’s possible to build on Discord. I can’t wait to see what y’all come up with! discord.com/developers/doc…
As we said in today's episode of @gamecraftpod (on AI), this may be the least "evergreen" content of the series. And here we go ... news on the topic of game-playing AI, which we discuss at some length 🙄 theverge.com/2024/3/13/2409…
🚨 NEW EPISODE Artificial Intelligence (S2E8) As Season 2 comes to an end, @mitchlasky & @blakeir take on the complex and highly speculative topic of AI + games! Now available on all platforms!
🚨 NEW EPISODE Intellectual Property (S2E7) @mitchlasky & @blakeir thoroughly examine the role of IP and video games. A wide ranging conversation on the topic — IP arbitrages, EA Sports/FIFA, Epic/Disney, and Transmedia! Now available on all platforms!
🚨 NEW EPISODE 🚨 Going Global (S2E5) In this episode, @mitchlasky & @blakeir discuss the globalization of gaming. They cover the innovations that unlocked these markets while also diving into the unique characteristics of these global hubs.
🚨 NEW EPISODE 🚨 Independent Intervention (S2E4) In this episode, @mitchlasky & @blakeir attempt to define "indie" in the video game context...something that proves more difficult than it might seem on the surface. Now available on all platforms!
If you listened to @gamecraftpod S2E2, the details of this unfortunate story will resonate (quod erat demonstrandum 🧐). videogameschronicle.com/news/it-was-a-…
🚨 A Changing of the Guard (S2E3) @mitchlasky & @blakeir expand on last season's discussion of platform-based publishing by introducing: the game-enabling software platforms. We cover the rise of Epic, Unity, AppLovin, Discord, and Roblox Now available on all platforms!
Amazing new episode of @gamecraftpod with @mitchlasky and @blakeir Important nuance between taking publisher financing vs. VC financing - the publishers are interested in you building a great product, the VCs are interested in you building a great company
[new episode] Choose Your (ad)Venture Season 2, Ep. 2 @mitchlasky & @blakeir do a deep dive on the nuances of game financing, the current state of gaming VC, and exits! Now available on all platforms!
This is great. So glad Bill and Brad are doing this. Reminds me how insanely lucky I was getting to spend every Monday for more than a decade hanging out talking business and investing with @bgurley (and @peterfenton & @mattcohler). Such a rare opportunity in business.

In Gamecraft S2E1, @blakeir and I discuss content vs. distribution innovation and its impact on value creation. I'm a bit of broken record on this topic, as Blake reminds me ... 🙄
The Black & Gold Standard 🔝
We are back with Season 2! Last season was the history lesson; this season is all about the business in 2024. "The State of Play: 2024" is now live — @mitchlasky and @blakeir analyze the current health of the games business. Available on all of your favorite podcast platforms
We're back! @blakeir and I are launching another season of @gamecraftpod. Last season was the history lesson; this season is all about the business in 2024. The first episode ("The State of Play") drops tomorrow morning. Also, Season 1 is now on YouTube: youtube.com/playlist?list=…
Tough loss. I think ‘Dolo perhaps waited too long to bring in a more attacking midfield. The Bogus sub changed the match. Ultimately that random deflected penalty call decided it. GG Crew.
Back to back western conference champions. Off to Ohio for a chance to repeat as MLS champions. #LAFC

An aha moment for me from @mitchlasky and @blakeir: Yes, creative genius is necessary to make successful games. It is an artistic medium after all! (Miyamoto, etc.) But the business models (and current technology paradigms) inform what *can* be created in the first place.
Fortnite (Epic) continues to push the boundaries. The LEGO + Fortnite license now extends to user-generated maps and experiences. Anyone can build their own LEGO games now…

I think my favorite fun fact about @mitchlasky is that he played a role in bringing Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater to life. At the time, Mitch was overseeing Activision’s third-party publishing strategy. Full story and context on the latest @gamecraftpod episode — Intellectual…

@gamecraftpod @mitchlasky @blakeir @mitchlasky @blakeir great episodes! One additional point about Sea. The success of Free Fire was due to the deep understanding of emerging market needs that we built through publishing, so the game was built to succeed in SEA and coincidentally LATAM!
@blakeir @gamecraftpod @mitchlasky Single best media piece on the gaming business imo. Honestly wish the episodes were 3x as long
Hard to believe we are almost halfway through Season 2 of @gamecraftpod! Episode 4 releases tomorrow! This series has been such a treat to research and record. @mitchlasky is truly on a different level…
But they are both so old!
