Welcome to our live show! x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

What we like about KWS is that Epic Games offers it to the "source" ie parents who verify their children and grant them permission to use features that collect personal info, protecting children and parents from leaky privacy buckets since parents provide verification details once. Oh and Epic offers this FREE to developers. **ThankYou @TimSweeneyEpic moment for the list. Others using KWS: EA, Marmalade Game Studio, Milestone, Among US, 2K, Bungie, InnerSloth, BlueSky, Niantic....

Another Thank you @TimSweeneyEpic moment -TakeTwo mobile game bookings +19%! CEO Strauss Zelnick said, "Our direct to consumer business had its strongest quarter on record," and "benefited from the ability to operate consumer storefronts outside the App Store and Google Play Store" (we wrote a 30pp report on Epic and Notebook LM did phenomenal images for it!)

Experiment in posting the same info differently! 🤓 Game Souk livestreamed TODAY at 9am ET from X today -we were flooded with ?s this week on Google GENIE (AI for games) Special guest: Marguerite deCourcelle @coin_artist Founder Blockade Labs, developing AI tech for virtual world creation for platforms (think skyboxes!) + @taketwo @EpicGames read!

Join us this morning here for The LIVE Game Souk 9am-9:30am ET! We will discuss the Barron's article on @Roblox (finally some TradFi love!) @EpicGames integration of creators (🎉), and a lot of new developments at Discord 🎮👾💙

Happy Halloween! 🎃 we discussed the market, EA, IP Rights, Google/Epic, Music and OMG @Roblox WOW - ignoring the stock, incredible growth off of a huge base. ~150 million DAILY users (+70% YoY) with time spent almost doubling (hours +91% YoY) And these are *not* all kids - 68% are 13 or older. Roblox promised they would pay developers $1BN this year and they already hit that. If you are still ignoring Roblox you are ignoring a platform that is larger than all of gaming combined.

Live Game Souk #19, September 18th x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Last Thursday, we hosted our 18th Game Souk, AD8’s LIVE on X show at 9am ET - hope you can make it tomorrow morning! We aim to bring insight to the news in gaming, crypto and public markets. Last week was a post-RDC firehose - some BIG insights shaping the future of UGC:

Join for a Game Souk Special Guest TODAY LIVE at 9am ET here on X! Dot Play's FIRST games publisher partner was Wonder Works. CEO Zach Letter is defining new business models in Roblox and in gaming broadly - today we will discuss a new game-within-the-game LEVEL UP WITH OLIPOP!

PREP CHECK COMPLETE 🍿 Snacks ✅ 🎶 Playlist ✅ 🐧 Emotional support penguin ✅ 💖 Cuteness overload ✅ 🧠 Stability ❌ oops! that’s far gone 🐧💖 - CANNOT. PROCESS. THIS. MUCH. CUTE #PudgyParty #DotPlay #DottieP0P #Web3Gaming #PenguinProtocol

🚨 THIS IS NOT A DRILL 🚨 I repeat: THE PENGUINS ARE DANCING 🐧🕺 Initiate emergency penguin protocol. Mandatory snacks. Mandatory outfits. Unhinged emotions.

Christie’s Art & Tech Summit maestro, @devangt, set up a brilliant panel that I moderated with ARK Invest's @CathieDWood and Signal's President @mer__edith✨synapse magic✨Cathie on AI always leaves one thinking. Meredith taught us two new words: EPISTEMIC AUTHORITY

🚨 BREAKING from the upper atmosphere 🚨 A category 5 CUTENESS STORM is tracking fast. Code name: Pudgy Party 🐧💃 Dance-offs and penguin drip are imminent. Brace yourself.

Next level FOMO! But relieved seeing @MythosCharley represent Polkadot Gaming at Consensus so well 😊 If you can swing by, ask about 1) his years as a pro LoL player 2) the new gig at @mythicalgames 3) FIFA Rivals and Pudgy Party COMING SOON 4) his excellent research reports while working at Dot Play 🤩👾🎮👾💙

Pop in tomorrow am/Thursday LIVESTREAM 9-930am ET - 1st Game Souk on @popdotplay with the krew! Dot Play needed a 💥Pop💥Live from X @Polkadot 3-330pm CET

It’s a @Polkadot NYC Mini-Summit! Join us in NYC next Friday morning for an explanation of Polkadot's Decentralized Cloud (no impact from AWS outage 🤔) What does this means for security and the future of the internet? FEATURING: @BillLaboon, POLKADOT’s Technical Lead. lu.ma/jiwi8hy8 And Thursday...

We are excited to announce that we are partnering with @Chainfood and their game @Evrloot in bringing FUN to Polkadot! We love this team and believe they are strategic for Dot Play as the @Polkadot-native game experience to be emulated, especially with the launch of Hub! 🍾 🎮🪅youtube.com/shorts/UN4J7Be…

Arron Goolsbey at @mythicalgames so eloquently says it when discussing how we will bring on the next 100 million players. 1) The FIFA (a great partner!) Rivals game this year is going to be awesome; 2) let's stop calling them blockchain games. They are just games. We are in the business of interactive entertainment so let's stop talking about the tech in the context of the game, and focus on the business we are in! AMEN

See Journalist James Seyffart’s July tweet, “sounds like a common enterprise. these 5 words may be triggering,” I was not triggered. As someone in the @Polkadot community since 2019, we are as resilient as the tech. I was just excited to have a real discussion!🤓He was on to the next tweet. A thread on what I would have said- x.com/JSeyff/status/…
