Episode notes

Microsoft is now back to aggregating supply in order to have enough viable IP on the platform and such that you will continue to subscribe. With a device like a Steam Deck or something like that, you're able to really avoid going down that path of building your own gaming PC. It is interesting that we're finally in the cloud gaming era. Like, this has been the dream for so long. The whole thin client thing never really made its way to gaming.

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!
