He is passionate about working with world-class creators on immersive, engaging, and accessible games that appeal to a diverse global audience.
In live-service games, the journey begins at launch. You may have years to develop your launch version, but post-launch, the pressure is on to deliver continuous updates within weeks, if not days. This challenge is compounded when supporting multiple platforms.
