Summary

This week, we’re joined by two leading video game investors. First, we have David Gardner, one of the world’s most successful gaming VCs who backed Supercell, Unity and NaturalMotion. He speaks to us about the state of game investment, where it’s heading and what may cause it to come back. Then we welcome Hooded Horse and Griffin Gaming Partners’ Tim Bender, who shares details about a new $100m indie fund. Plus, we chat investor anxiety over Nintendo, Sega’s cancelled ‘Super Game’, Capcom’s results, Sony's AI push and a whole lot more. Enjoy. This is a public episode.
