In 22 years of attending the annual Dice Summit, I’ve witnessed extraordinary and memorable talks from the leaders of the game industry. And so this year, it was a special honor to be asked to moderate the Dice Town Hall a few weeks back in Las Vegas.
Maybe I should retire since it doesn’t really get better than this for a lowly game journalist. Our theme for the panel was about The Long Game. We had to put our heads together and think about what the audience would want to hear about, and we decided it should inspire others for the long term.
The description noted that “strategy, innovation, and teamwork help build experiences that are no longer ephemeral, growing and evolving with the player and the audience. How do we best plan for the future while making the most of the present? Together, we examine how to harness the principles and tools to create long-lasting art and entertainment, nurture positive culture and communities, and always work toward a better tomorrow while making the most of today.”
My panelists included Jane Pinckard, global portfolio director at Xbox for third-party games; Mike Ybarra, president of Blizzard Entertainment; Anna Sweet, CEO of Bad Robot Games, a division of JJ Abrams’ Bad Robot; and Careen Yap, head of strategy at the Embracer Group. We had a very good conversation about the state of gaming and where it’s going. We tried to keep it fun and inspirational, but the topics were relevant to the crowd.
