The Game Business Show

In this edition, we dive into the data around exclusive games and discuss why PlayStation might be pulling back from PC releases… and whether Xbox should keep putting games on other consoles.
Our big guest on the Show is Jake Kulkowski from Guillotine. Jake is a top influencer specialist who works with companies big and small, and he shares insight into how the world of influencer marketing is shifting.
Along with Jake, we have a mini-interview with Larry Kuperman of Nightdive Studios. Larry has just retired from the remaster and remake specialist, but we managed to grab one final chat with him about the retro scene.
Enjoy.

The two also discuss the fighting game genre, why they have to accept bad The Walking Dead games, the reason it isn't publishing indie titles anymore, and... vampires.

It's been a busy week for news. We’ve had Xbox price cuts, BAFTA winners (and losers), new game divisions, new title announcements, big sales numbers, more job cuts… a real mix. So, lots to go through.
Our guest is Christofer Sundberg. He is the head of Liquid Swords, the developer of Samson. The GTA-like game had a tough journey to launch, and its release has been marred by bugs and flaws. Sundberg tells us his story, and what to expect from the console launch in September.
Plus, we discovered a cool new card game aimed at video game studios.
Enjoy!
