In recent years, there’s been considerable discourse about the game industry’s challenges. However, according to today's guest, Jiten Dajee, one core element has been missing from the conversation: the root technical causes underlying many of today’s business woes. After all, game tech shapes the way games are developed and managed, which in turn drives business outcomes.

Jiten, General Partner at Rendered VC, joins host Aaron Bush to discuss how the state of game tech is holding developers back, how many managers fail to solve systemic issues, interesting trends across global development teams, and how all of this shapes the way he invests. We also hit where future game tech breakthroughs may come from and areas adjacent to gaming that are worth keeping an eye on.

We’d also like to thank AWS for Games for making this episode possible. AWS for Games aligns purpose-built game development capabilities — including AWS services like Amazon GameLift as well as solutions from AWS Partners — to help game developers build, run, and grow their games.
