The Game Business Show

In this edition of The Game Business Show, we explore the idea that there may not be a video game industry at all! And we are joined by industry veteran, consultant, investor and developer (plus co-owner of Spilt Milk Studios) Nicholas Lovell to discuss the subject.
In addition, we look at the latest cuts at Ubisoft, Larian’s shifting position on AI, and the drop in Battlefield 6 players. Enjoy!

To wrap up the year, we have gone back over our nearly 80 episodes and picked some of our favourite moments. Our first draft of this would have been at least five hours long. And we wouldn’t do that to you. So we’ve had to be brutal and select what we think were the more interesting or entertainment moments from the past nine months.Enjoy!
