Trends of the Year 2021 | Podcast
We look back at some of the biggest stories and developments of the past 12 months
In the first of our two year-end shows, we reflect on some of the biggest topics of the past 12 months in the games industry.
We start with a discussion about the state of the AAA market, with a particular focus on the wave of new studios we've seen emerge - and the room for improvement when it comes to diversity behind the scenes.
Then, we recap the highlights and implications of the Epic vs Apple trial from earlier this year. And we finish off with an update on our thoughts on what are undeniably the two biggest buzzwords of 2021: 'blockchain' and 'metaverse.'
We'll be back next week with our Games of the Year show (but you can read our first article here).
