Just got back from gamescom in Cologne, an incredibly valuable few days. I went in with a specific goal: explore taking one of our mobile games to PC and console. What surprised me was how many other opportunities came up along the way - especially around Pawn to Don Mafia Crime Story. From publishing and distribution to new partnerships and platforms, I had some really interesting conversations with people across the industry. Came back with a lot of ideas, new relationships and some exciting possibilities for what’s next. Thanks to everyone who took the time to meet - it was great connecting! And if we were supposed to meet at Gamescom but somehow missed each other, please reach out. Would love to connect. 🎮
