Our representatives from Virtuos North America and CounterPunch – A Virtuos Studio (CounterPunch) were delighted to be invited to the three-day conference, meeting fellow game developers from all over the world and exchanging new and innovative ideas with each other. It was a rare opportunity to reconnect with everyone in person and discuss key issues faced by the industry during the roundtable sessions, including hot topics such as the evolution of VR, future gaming business models and the metaverse.
“D.I.C.E has always presented a unique opportunity for leaders in our industry to connect, discuss, and share thoughts on the future of our medium. After two full years of staring at colleagues from a computer monitor, it was so amazing to reconnect with so many friends in person,” said Jake Digennaro, General Manager of Virtuos North America.
