“There is strong potential for innovation with the integration of video chat and games. I also feel a very strong player could emerge in the ‘metaverse’ space.”

“This past year saw a rise in new studios made up of very experienced individuals also thanks to new exciting VC coming into the scene.”

“The key change is gaming was shunned as an advertising medium, and now it’s the largest untapped opportunity”

“More Chinese companies are going to focus on publishing games abroad to avoid restrictions at home.”

“Huawei's struggle with Google can potentially make an impact in the mobile games industry, and could even potentially pave the way for completely new Android Stores”

“What we see today is an emphasis on watching games more than playing them and LGBTQ+ representation are products of what happened to the industry a couple of years ago.”

“To me the innovation is not in the game content but in how the industry is reinventing ways to market.”

“I think over the next year we'll see the games industry work hard to offer people more meaningful ways to connect with each other through games since our “normal” ways of connecting have been greatly disrupted.”

“While the gaming community gets more diverse and more inclusion, the last 12 months have pushed to show that gaming is not a waste of time.”

“I think in 2020, one of the biggest changes is how conferences have been online (and how successful it has been).”

“In Brazil it has changed drastically - consumer and industry development growth due to less technology barriers and also to a much larger audience due to mobile access.”

“There is no doubt that the new generation of consoles will lead a lot of the discussions and the strategic development of many companies.”

“We will continue to have to find creative ways to respond to COVID, especially as it relates to work from home and remote work options.”

“We've seen so many new game studios founded and backed, with founding teams having worked at many of the big industry success stories over the past five to ten years and working on incredibly ambitious new projects for new audiences.”

“Growing gaming bases at substantially higher rates than the industry as a whole and more gamers being exposed to the benefits of uniqueness and collectability.”

“I believe we're going to continue to see mobile gaming grow by expanding to new categories.”

“Think about the broader IP beyond the game and make sure it has a GREAT storyworld. Great storyworlds create more story potential!”

“Blockchain brands will continue offering grants/funding to indie developers and the platforms that support indie developers”

“I feel the industry as a whole is experiencing the same issue as the movie industry with all the superhero movies dominating the top charts.”

“HR here is not about checking through policies, procedures and process; we have so much more to offer, and this is something I’m able to achieve with the best-in-class team at Jagex”
