Episode notes

As we move into this era of more and more sophisticated game economies, being able to sort of play out those game theory kind of scenarios will be really exciting. And then I'm particularly excited about live ops because we're spending boat loads of money on live ops. Live DMing for like Dungeons and Dragons like experience where you've ever been a DM... Live Dungeon Master. Not direct master. We have a different kind of acronym. Your among geeks here today.

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!
