Interesting conversation about Web3 and crypto last week - I can see that value is being generated from interest in the token, but I still can't see any value in the token itself (see also NFT). Eventually you have to cash out of crypto world into the real world surely?

Great overview of an amazing event - showreel video of #London Games Festival 2024 and a look ahead to 2025! youtube.com/watch?v=xPIYZK…

I love me some good old fashioned video game magazines! Great piece in the @Guardian theguardian.com/games/article/… MT Ukie

It costs money to keep heritage safe. Museums and heritage sites have been stripped beyond the bone financially. If priceless artefacts are lost, damaged or stolen, I hope people think really carefully about where they place the blame.

Great first meeting with the @Uk_ie Board today discussing how we can learn from current challenges in the industry while being bold and ambitious for the future. A great group of people dedicated to the long-term success of video games and interactive entertainment.

Late to this but so sad to learn of the death of Paul Auster. An unique voice whose books got hold of me and never let me go. A rare and brilliant storyteller who will be much missed.

I suspect the question is less 'how do we get regulators to understand how the video games industry uses #AI ?' and more 'how can the video games industry get behind the urgent global need to build #algorithmic #literacy into education'. We can address real societal challenges.

In Rome today to represent @Uk_ie at the meeting of the Global Video Game Coalition. Looking forward to meeting counterparts from trade associations around the globe and discussing how we can do more to advance the interests of the industry. thegvgc.org

When legendary John Carpenter brings our #HorizonForbiddenWest soundtrack to 'What's in my bag?' 😭😭😭 This means so much ❤️

Important stand-out in a fascinating thread. As Philippe Legrain 🇺🇦 pointed out many years ago, migration and the movement of skills is not only good for economic adaptability, it is essential - particularly in our fast-moving tech industries.

I'll be at the Ukie HQ this Thursday for the London Hub Crawl!
Can't wait to chat about all things, Indie Dev!

Democracy - a system in which the electorate periodically gets to pick the least unpalatable of a series of unpalatable choices.

Cannot fathom the amount of work this would have taken - player organises an entire red arrows-style choreographed air show in GTA youtu.be/R97v4IxhrzA?si…

Got the feeling we're going to spend the next 3 days hearing some very creative explanations of why a landslide is *actually* evidence of the nation's appetite for the status quo.

Incredibly powerful human stories from the world of video games in recent days. From the players who set up memorials to lost loved ones in No Mans Sky to the young people who meet up in Fortnite to chat and support each other. Games *are* #culture

I think this means I am officially an Ukie staffer! I have my own avatar, including grey stripe. Delighted to be part of such a committed team.
