In this episode, Vince Quinn chats with Berkley Egenes, Chief Marketing Growth Officer at Xsola, about marketing lessons from the ever-evolving gaming industry. Berkley breaks down how Xsola simplifies global video game commerce through localized payment solutions, seamless in-game purchasing, and white-label integration. He shares insights on scaling indie games, reacting to regulatory shifts, enabling user acquisition, building community, and bridging brands into gaming culture.Guest BioBerkley Egenes is the Chief Marketing Growth Officer at Xsola, a video game commerce company enabling monetization, distribution, and payments across 200+ geographies for over 4,000 games. With 23+ years in marketing and eSports, he previously built the Ghost Gaming brand and now focuses on forging partnerships, launching campaigns, and creating global marketing growth strategies.TakeawaysLocalizing global payments: Xsola allows developers to accept region-specific payments, like Brazil's PIX or local wallets, via customizable, branded in-game interfaces.B2B2C marketing model: Xsola markets first to game developers (B2B), then enables those developers to better market to players (B2C), using events, social, content syndication, and email campaigns.Rapid regulatory response: Following a U.S. court ruling on April 30, 2025, Xsola quickly implemented compliant direct in-app payment links, illustrating the importance of responsiveness and agile marketing.Scalable processes & AI-powered content: Quick execution relies on repetitive frameworks, clear ownership, iterative post-mortems, process discipline, and AI tools (like refining LinkedIn posts via ChatGPT).Indie game ecosystem support: Xsola's “funding club” connects garage developers with VCs, publishers, and showcases to help them produce and monetize games.Community-led outreach: Events like dinner meetups and spaces at Gamescom foster genuine connection, collaboration, and idea exchange across platforms and genres.Cross-industry brand opportunities: From in-game branded experiences (e.g. Fortnite collabs) to IP licensing, brands are increasingly activating within games for engagement and longevity.Safety & education for families: Xsola promotes parental controls, gift card solutions, and content to keep children safe and avoid accidental high spending.Future-facing mindset: Gaming is the dominant entertainment medium for Gen Z and Gen Alpha, this diverse, immersive cultural shift offers unprecedented opportunity for developers, brands, and platforms alike.Chapters00:00 Intro to Future Fuzz + Guest Introductions 01:10 What is Xsola and How It Works 03:34 Marketing Xsola's B2B2C Approach 06:21 Tactics to Grow Game Audiences 08:06 Regulatory Shift: Direct In‑App Payments 09:26 Rapid Go‑to‑Market: Team & Process 12:49 Gaming Industry Evolution & Indies Rising 14:36 Xsola's Funding Club & Indie Support 16:20 Data‑Driven Relationship Building 17:52 Building Community at Trade Shows 19:06 Cross‑Industry Brand Integration in Gaming 23:31 Gaming as Cultural Mainstay & Future of Media 28:29 Parental Controls + Safe Monetization Advice 30:21 Podcast & Multi‑Channel Marketing Strategy 31:07 Guest Wrap‑Up + Where to Connect LinkedInFollow Berkley Egenes Follow Vince Quinn

The Save Roommates are no longer roommates... They're neighbors! On this episode, we talk about moving away (and how we moved basically 500 ft from each other). Also, it's one of those windy, kitchen sink episodes, so you can expect: movie talk, Gamescom, Resident Evil 9, going to see Nine Inch Nails, our plan to shrink ourselves inside a PC tower, and sock talk. So, you know, a normal episode.

This week our writer Christian Thoma joined the mayhem that is the Blizzard Watch Podcast. Speaking of mayhem and the Blizzard Watch Podcast, you may recall that last week's episode ended on a bit of a cliffhanger, as the hosts discovered that, while they were recording the podcast, Blizzard released 14 blog posts detailing all the announcements that happened at Gamescom. This week, they discussed the highlights of all those posts, which made matters even more confusing as they contradicted some other interviews and information that came out right around the same time.Plus, another week, another new microtransaction most of us hate -- you can get a new cute capybara pet in WoW for spending a mere $75 on the Blizzard Gear Store (on specific items).Also, have you heard of a small indie game called Silksong?If you have a few minutes, please fill out our survey to tell us what you think about the podcast.

Scott sits down with Tanner Goodman, who just got back from the EU, and his time at Gamescom in Germany. They talk about everything he saw! Including the standout demos like Crimson Desert (beautiful but overloaded with systems), Silent Hill f (creepy immersive theater), Honor of Kings: World (surprise hit with fun elemental combat and raids), and Valor Mortis (first-person Soulslike with grotesque Napoleonic bosses). Also, reasons why Chronos on Switch 2 disappointed due to poor performance and clunky design. Beyond games, Xbox showed its new handheld, cosplay was everywhere, swag was abundant, and even Netflix, Disney+, and Chiquita Bananas had booths. Give it a listen and huge thanks to Tanner for his time! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
