Some people go by the calendar year. Some people go by a fiscal year. My year ends the day before #xds and starts the day after XDS ends. The three days in between? Those are all actually one continuous day without discernable starts or ends. If you'll be in Vancouver and like talking about video games, let's meet up and do just that! #xds2023 #gamedev #outsourcing #videogames #videogameindustry

Steve just back from an insightful DICE Summit, and it's clear that 2024 is shaping up to be a year where fostering a loyal fan base is key for game developers and publishers. There’s some rough waters in the gaming industry right now. But it's inspiring to see developers coming together, sharing resources, job opportunities, and offering support to one another. Developers fostering strong, inclusive environments around their games will be better positioned to sustain growth in 2024 through player support via UGC and a renaissance for other user-led activities like third party servers. Let's continue to nurture our communities together. Here's to facing challenges head-on and emerging stronger, united by our passion for gaming. 💜 (Also shoutout to Steven Augustine for attending his first event as our Head of Business Development & Sales!) #GamingIndustry #DICESummit #GameDevelopment

An effective elevator pitch is a game-changer in networking and pitching scenarios. Here’s a prime example of a stellar elevator pitch: it succinctly conveys what the business does, identifies the industry problem it solves and why it matters, showcases the leader’s relevant experience, and emphasizes key traction points to ensure adoption. During events and conferences, you’ll have fleeting moments to capture the attention of investors and potential partners. A compelling elevator pitch sparks interest and opens the door for follow-up conversations. Remember, being clear and concise are your allies in making a great first impression.
