S2E5. What defines the future of games? With Ilya Eremeev – Отвратительные мужики

Raphael Colantonio and Peter Salnikov talk to Ilya Eremeev, co-founder and managing partner of The Games Fund, a video-game-focused VC fund. No boring financial talks this time. We let ourselves discuss the foggy future of video games and what - or who - defines it the biggest measure. The gamers? The publishers and funds? The platforms? Maybe the devs themselves?    - What is the danger of ongoing sequels and remakes? How franchises grow insanely big and what is the worst about it; - "What if you had a gun?" - how ubiquitous mandatory player weaponizing affects the design of games; - Do we really need hype culture? - Why you don't have to be scared to offer new ideas; - The HR crisis in AAA segment, and competition with indie studios for lead specialists; - The AI: our thoughts and worries on the most promising tools of the era.   This and much more - only in the new episode of The House of The Dev podcast.
