What do you think have been the most exciting developments in gaming since the last Pocket Gamer Connects Helsinki?
The rise to worldwide phenomenon of Fortnite. This game is one of the biggest pop culture influence of 2018, if not the biggest.
It's influencing almost every vertical in gaming from VR to Mobile.
What are your thoughts on the way the industry has grown in the last 12 months?
There is always something new and exciting happening in our industry. New technology and platforms are always showing up.
Some stay, some fade away. But in the end, the winners are always the users, they are the ones getting all these amazing games.

I'm really hoping more innovation will come in the next year. I want developers and publishers to focus on great gameplay that brings gamers back to their phones.
As developers, publishers, and users become more sophisticated, hopefully, the level of risk linked to making great games will diminish and it will allow the game makers to be able to take greater risks which will create better games!
Which part of Pocket Gamer Connects Helsinki are you most looking forward to and why?
The very big Indie Pitch, I'm always impressed with the level of creativity the indie studios showcase at these events!
