💸 What If? Xbox carve-out, Gaming smartphone, M&A scenarios

Hello GameMakers,

This past week the Pixel bros decided to try a different kind of podcast discussion in which we consider hypothetical game industry business scenarios. And yes, this segment was highly inspired by the Marvel series “What If…?”

Given the length of the discussion, we published these talks separately. But the hypotheticals we considered included, What if?

1. Microsoft tried to carve out its Xbox business?

2. A game publisher developed a gaming smartphone?

3. Unity, Roblox, Epic Games, Take Two, EA, or Ubisoft were acquired?

Oh, quick FYI: you may have noticed some changes to the newsletter. We switched publishing platforms, so there will be minor changes; otherwise, everything should be the same.
