David Bianculli: Are the giants already just set on the platform-based publisher side? It's really to be determined because you have Epic trying to do it, and they're sort of everything brute forcing that they possibly can to make it happen. And so there is a little bit of a question of what does it mean to actually try and build one today? And is it even possible? For our second sponsor, we have another one of our favorite companies, PitchBook, the data you need to dive deeper.

We sit down Benchmark’s legendary gaming investors Mitch Lasky and Blake Robbins (now also of the excellent Gamecraft podcast fame) to discuss the history and future of gaming business models. This episode is the perfect bookend to our Nintendo/Sega gaming series this season on Acquired — no one is more qualified than Mitch and Blake to breakdown how the business side of the industry has evolved so radically from the Periscope quarter-drop days to the forever games and platform based publishers of today.

Regardless if you’re a gamer, understanding the incredible innovation that’s taken place over the past two decades in gaming and what it portends for other industries is critical for any founder and investor to understand. Tune in!
