Listen to what Ofir Meir has to say, very interesting.

This is a very good read, great insight Peter Dager The whole article rings true. On the player piece, Rowan Stroo made a great point, in a debate on one of my previous posts, about moving Esports contracts to salaries with benefits to compensate for falling prize pools/shifting %s. In terms of diversification of revenue, I think this is very true but it's execution over theory. We have seen NIP evolve into a broad gaming enterprise with Talent management and Hotels becoming pillars. Gamesquare, Enthusiastic and Overactive have managed this, while Feenix Group we have broadened our offering with Studio and talent management, incorporating tech stack. https://lnkd.in/eGYAdGtf

🎮 #esports, as with #mediaindustry in general, is going through massive changes right now. Perhaps it's an opportunity to evaluate the cost structures of certain leagues & properties, and the tendency to use large studios, as well as production hardware and trucks. #cloudproduction could save 40-60% of the content costs, and allow staff to create & collaborate remotely. 🤷♂️ #gamingindustry #liveproduction #teamgrabyo https://lnkd.in/eUyuDGtw

I read an interesting blog today discussing industry trends, and one that caught my eye was the emphasis on Social Interaction features. It seems like a game-changer, literally🚀 Players engaging with each other, fostering a real sense of community within the iGaming world. After all, players are the heartbeat of our industry. From friendly competition to epic collaborations, community-driven sessions seem to sprinkle a little extra fun into the experience. It's not just about the game anymore; it's about connecting with fellow enthusiasts, isn't it? Sure, some players still enjoy their solo adventures, but I can't help but wonder if the new generation is craving more. Can we transform the solitary experience into a bustling social hub? I'll bet on it! Embracing multiplayer experiences shouldn't be just a trend; but could it be the future possibly? Creating immersive social experiences that keep players coming back for more than just the game itself. So to my LinkedIn community, what are your thoughts? Are we riding the multiplayer wave, or is it dare I say, too trendy? 🤔 #multiplayer #multiplayergames #multiplayerexperiences #igamingtrends #igaming #trends #techtalks #tech #community #socialinteraction
