With all of the talk about Gamescom today, let's dive back into 1997 and what it was like to showcase the original PREY during E3 with the title's original project lead, Paul Schuytema! "We underpromised and over delivered!"

this is really amazing : ))). there is still a huge lack of diversity within the gaming industry. diversity is not only about inclusivity. it also allows for a different platform or creative ideas, and stories from other cultures. this also benefits an industry that struggles with repetition. I love the classics, but imagine more games that include lore from other cultures. native Americans have shapeshiters, or their beliefs with owls. (interesting enough I was told growing up that a white owl signifies death. but that's a Mexican superstition.not sure how it coralates to other cultures.) I know there are a lot of games on the Greek pantheon. imagine the Hindu pantheon. studying Anthropology their religion was one of my favorites to learn. the belief system has so many stories, such beautiful colors!!! the pantheon is just amazing. Rich with cutlure and beauty. one of my favorites it's the story of Ganesh. it was so beautiful to learn. #diversity #gamedev #respawnentertainment #gaming #Anthropology #gamesindustry

#play14 is celebrating its 10th anniversary in Luxembourg on March 21-23. 2024 is a special year for #play14, as we are celebrating our 10th anniversary. Indeed, our very first event was hosted 10 years ago on March 14th, 2014.   Ten years later, with events organized in 35 cities in 20 different countries, with hundreds of games played and shared around the world, with close to 2,500 players who joined us, we are proud of what we have accomplished as a community.   To celebrate this milestone, we invite you to join us in Luxembourg, on March 21-23, 2024 for #play14's 10th anniversary. Luxembourg is where it all started, and it's only logical that we celebrate this great moment there.   What is our plan for this special event? As usual, we will have our traditional welcome dinner on March 21st at the Technoport in Esch/Belval. We will play with grown-ups only on Friday, and on Saturday we will welcome your kids if you want to bring them to discover the #play14 magic.   But what else will we do to make this incredible milestone memorable? - 10th Anniversary Party: On Friday evening, we will have a big 10th Anniversary Party. There will be good food, good drinks, there will be cake and of course, many many games. - Building together: During the whole event we will build something together. The idea here is to produce something as a community that we can deliver at the end of the 2.5 days. It will most probably only be the start of something, and we may pass it along to the next event, where people will be free to take over and continue the work. This could continue for as many events as necessary. - A big social experiment: We plan to organize a big social experiment with all of you. We don't want to say too much, but it will be about social organization and leadership. And it's gonna be fun. - Bring your own surprise: We will have plenty of other surprises for you. But you, as a player, can also organize something special during the event to mark your appreciation. Feel free to be creative and surprise us.   We are now 70 days before the event starts. So save the date and register now

Fun fact time‼️ My wife and I are lifetime gamers. How big into games are we, you ask? We love games so much we were able to get married at PAX West during the Gearbox Entertainment panel with the ever wonderful Anthony Nicholson, Chris Faylor Mikey Newman, Erica Stead, Randall Pitchford, and Randy Pitchford! 🥰 During last years PAX West Gearbox Entertainment panel, my wife and I did a cosplay of the Borderlands series NPC's Dr. Zed and Dr. Ned (respectively). When the Gearbox staff rounded up the Borderlands cosplayers, we were missed, so we got stuck sitting near the center front of the stage. Luckily for us, so was the PAX media team. 😊 Now that you know the back story, this picture will make more sense. This year's PAX West media team made a tweet highlighting the use of facemasks, and they used my wife and I as the photo for their tweet! (BIG nerd moment.) 🤓 Some of you may be wondering. "Michael, how can you spin this post to show your professional side?" 🤔 Easy. When you want to make a connection with someone, you have to remember that the person on the other side is more than their job title and the company they work for. ⭐️➡️ They are a person first. ⬅️⭐️ Now my network knows a bit more about who I am as a person, and hopefully, you will use this knowledge to make a stronger connection with me here on LinkedIn. 😊 (I am easily derailed with game conversations.) P.S. I may not be on the same gaming level as Amir Satvat, but I'm at least getting an honorable mention, right? #PAXWest #gaminglife #informationtechnology #peoplehelpingpeople #veteranshelpingveterans #Borderlands #Gearbox

Did you know?: Gamers actually don't mind going outside or to events? PAX Australia saw 85,000+ attendees over 3 days, making it one of the biggest Australian conventions in any industry, ever. If you create something that provides a money-can-buy inclusive experience, gamers are out in droves to attend. I spoke with cosplayer 'Lillabee' about what drives her to participate in the event each year. The answer: Panels, meeting friends, tech, cosplay & more. I wonder why no other gaming events are able to come close to PAX's size & attendance numbers? #videogames #digitalmarketing

How does something like this happen? You get government backers that are willing to go on the journey with you and the ability to move quickly and with agility. The backers see your early results and then that forms a trusting bond. You empower teams around you, whilst holding everyone to account on the market realities. You equip developers with business skills and help them find ways to better their production processes and marketing. You bring other agencies along for the ride, which is sometimes an education and an effort but you encourage them to grow ambition in a space. You work with an excellent internal team who are always interested in pushing harder and doing better and holding each other accountable. You make sure every single dollar you spend brings maximum value to the industry, government and taxpayer. And sometimes it's just doggedness and spite. 😂
