Comments Off on Does Cosmetic Customization Make Game Discovery More Exciting?

The belief that cosmetic customization only caters to vanity purchases has stuck around for years. Yet, for players and collectors who spend hours exploring digital shelves, skins and cosmetic items play a much larger part in how games get discovered and enjoyed.

Comments Off on Is Mobile Gaming Creating a New Divide Between Casual and Hardcore Players?

Walk into any game discussion lately and you’ll hear the same divide: touchscreens versus mouse and keyboard, five-minute bursts compared to marathon sessions, and games you can play on a commute rivaling classics best enjoyed at a desk.

Comments Off on Who Builds the Spectacle: The Trades Behind Stadiums, Sets, and Esports Arenas

When the lights hit and the crowd roars, most people look at the scoreboard, the stage, or the screen. Few look at the steel above their heads or the welds beneath their feet.
