About Gamecraft
Gamecraft is a limited series about the modern history of the video game business. Beginning in the early 1990's, the video game business began a radical transformation from a console and PC packaged goods business into the highly complex, online, multi-platform business it is today. Game industry legend Mitch Lasky and game investor Blake Robbins go on a thematic tour of the last 30 years of gaming, exploring the origins of free-to-play, platform-based publishing, casual & mobile gaming, forever games, user-generated content, consoles, virtual reality, and in-game economies across the eight episodes of Season 1. In Season 2, Mitch and Blake are back with a new series analyzing the state of the video game business in 2024. They start with a macro view of the current business, before looking at some hot topics in gaming: the rise of powerful independent game studios, emerging markets for games around the world, how innovations in artificial intelligence will change game creation, and the renewed importance of intellectual property in the game business.

[…] And a lot of these fouls like in a normal league match would get called and it would slow the thing down. But, you know – Over the course of a 35 or 40-match season, if you let people play this way, you're just going to have half of your squad on crutches by the end of the season. It's just too physical. But for a tournament like this, it's been brilliant. And, like, it keeps the game moving. And I think that it's clear that from at least the way I've been parsing it, like, what they've been instructed to do is to allow for contact unless it involves the hands or arms. And I think if you watch carefully, when the calls do get made, they almost invariably are... […]
