Raphael Colantonio and Peter Salnikov talk to Ilya Eremeev, co-founder and managing partner of The Games Fund, a video-game-focused VC fund. No boring financial talks this time. We let ourselves discuss the foggy future of video games and what - or who - defines it the biggest measure. The gamers? The publishers and funds? The platforms? Maybe the devs themselves?
What is the danger of ongoing sequels and remakes? How franchises grow insanely big and what is the worst about it;
"What if you had a gun?" - how ubiquitous mandatory player weaponizing affects the design of games;
Do we really need hype culture?
Why you don't have to be scared to offer new ideas;
The HR crisis in AAA segment, and competition with indie studios for lead specialists;
The AI: our thoughts and worries on the most promising tools of the era.
This and much more - only in the new episode of The House of The Dev podcast. Thanks for listening.
