Yup, I'm a firm believer that gaming trends go in cycles, so my Nex thing is a mission driven blend of hardware and software that is already bringing back motion gaming, as well as contributing to a future where gesture inputs are standard. This will be a fun year rolling out into eComm and Retail with a compelling content pipeline filled with branded and original games.
We couldn't be more excited to welcome Thomas Kang and Stephen Saiz to the Nex leadership team and luminaries Bing Gordon, Christoph Frehsee, and Robert Matthews to our advisory board. Combined they bring decades of experience from Amazon, Disney, Microsoft, Nintendo, Electronic Arts, and Walmart to support Nex's growth. It's a great honor to have their support and collaboration going into our next phase! #nex #nexplayground #newworldofplay https://lnkd.in/dyfyhm5a
