In this roundtable, come talk about some business and marketing issues facing the video games industry in the coming year. The roundtable will focus discussion on a few key issues including the recent decline in formal games journalism jobs at news publications ranging from IGN to the Washington Post, the benefits and challenges of advertising on Twitch for small and mid-sized developers, the Wolfire lawsuit against Steam for its policy of prohibiting games being sold for a lower price on competing platforms, and whether the FTC will successfully block the acquisition of Activision Blizzard by Microsoft.
Attendees will hear from each other about business and marketing issues facing the industry in the coming year. Come prepared to participate and discuss issues you have encountered recently, and hopefully you will leave better prepared to adapt and cope with business and marketing challenges in the year to come.
The roundtable is open to anyone, but will be of most use to you if you are involved in the business and marketing of games, even if that is only part of your role at your company or studio. Attendance at Session 1 is not required for Session 2.
