  • 2 All in the family – Bringing families together with cloud gaming

    Hatch Entertainment Director Go-to-Market & Commercial Partnerships Gunjan Garg delivers a Game Changers: Cloud & Connected Experiences session at Pocket Gamer Connects London 2019 on January 21st to 22nd.

    Who are family gamers, and how is our industry catering to them? We know that family gamers – those living in households where kids and adults play together – are some of the most knowledgeable and heavily engaged consumers in the industry. They are also among the most likely to spend money on gaming subscriptions.

    But in today’s gaming landscape, families are often left out in the cold, especially on mobile which focuses on monetising in ways that are not always friendly to kids. How can cloud gaming services like Hatch rise to address this growing gap in the marketplace, and bring families together in a fun, safe and sustainable way?

  • 5 Rethinking the internet

    Polystream Co-Founder & CEO Bruce Grove delivers a Game Changers: Cloud & Connected Experiences session at Pocket Gamer Connects London 2019 on January 21st to 22nd.

    The internet as we know it, was celebrating its 35th birthday this year (although in existence years before that). This amazing feat of engineering was built to be a messaging service, to decentralise communication, it was never designed to be the world wide entertainment system we now know. At its heart, the internet is still built to send messages from a source to a destination, from email, to songs, to video, and for interactive solutions, for streaming games – this is a problem. Polystream is looking to rethink the internet and how to run games from the cloud. It has never been about latency or quality, those are merely symptoms of today’s architectures.
