In this episode, host Kalie Moore talks with Bastian Bergmann, Co-founder & COO of Solsten, about the collision between gaming and branding, and why most companies still don't know how to show up in games without feeling like an ad. With 3B+ people playing worldwide and gaming still capturing only ~5% of global ad spend, Bastian argues the opportunity isn't awareness, it's audience strategy. Kalie and Bastian break down why gaming is the only medium that truly spans every demographic, from Gen Alpha to “silver surfers,” and why brands fail when they lead with stereotypes or build empty “brand worlds” instead of experiences grounded in what players actually want.They also explore why gaming should be treated as a real conversion channel, even if measurement hasn't fully caught up yet, and how platforms like Roblox and UEFN will be pushed toward clearer attribution as more dollars move in. Bastian shares standout examples like The New York Times' games-led subscription growth and Chipotle's Roblox activations that drove real-world sales and loyalty signups. For studios and creators, the takeaway is clear: know your audience deeply, design integrations that are brand-agnostic but partnership-ready, and pitch brands with real segmentation and fit, not vague “access to gamers.” The episode closes with what's next at Solsten: Alaris, an AI tool powered by Solsten's psychological dataset, plus an upcoming API layer aimed at unlocking deeper personalization across games, matchmaking, recommendations, and advertising.We'd like to thank Neon – a global payments and e-commerce platform designed to help game publishers earn more money and gain independence from app stores – for making the episode possible.

PlIn a move that has shocked the gaming industry, Sony Interactive Entertainment has officially confirmed it is shutting down Bluepoint Games. Known for setting the "Gold Standard" with masterpieces like the Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus remakes, the Austin-based studio will officially shutter in March 2026.In this episode of Epic Arcade, Kelvin and Afiq dive deep into the timeline of this disaster. How did a studio with a flawless technical track record go from being acquired in 2021 to being dismantled just five years later?Epic Arcade is a proud member of the Renegade Radio Network.

A new breed of “micro-indie” publisher is emerging: teams that fund sub-$200K games, ship fast, and treat releases like a portfolio. In this episode, host Alexandra Takei, VP at Medal, sits down with Kirill Akimkin, founder of Polden Publishing, to unpack the world of micro indies and discovery. In 2025, they shipped almost 8 games with $800K and plan to ship 20 titles in 2026. Kirill explains that much of their developer pipeline is inbound: a Telegram-led media presence brings developers to them, and that they are more “researchers” than experts, with strict KPIs for a game's release. We discuss their genre strategy, developer strategy, and more.The conversation then turns to discovery, both outside Steam and building towards the Steam algorithm for wishlists. Kirill frames marketing as a repeatable machine: short-form content, creators, and community spikes are used to drive consistent wishlist velocity, which then feeds Steam's surfaces (Discovery Queue, Popular Upcoming, demo visibility, and post-launch recommendations) and the duo discuss case studies of Fish Hunters, Totally Secure Airport (which got 75K+ wishlists in on day), and Final Sentance. They close with questions on where discovery happens, what today's games in micro indies indicate about modern-day gamers' tastes, and the perception of AI in low-budget titles. If you are shipping a PC game on Steam this year, this is a must-listen. We'd like to thank Medal.tv for making this episode possible.

This week on NAFC, the crew starts off with Discord issuing an apology for that weird age verification fiasco—because nothing says community like uploading your ID to talk about anime.Izzy goes deep into Mewgenics again, fully embracing whatever chaotic timeline we're living in. There's also talk about Resident Evil Requiem and whether Capcom still knows how to cook.Somehow the episode spirals into a heated debate: back in or front in parking? Friendships are tested. Logic is abandoned. AirPod Pros also get their own segment after surviving a full laundry cycle like they're built by Nokia.Finally, the gang dives into 13 Assassins (2010)—Takashi Miike's brutal, methodical samurai epic. Slow burn, tactical planning, and then absolute chaos.Support us on Patreon!

This week on NAFC, the crew juggles sports, anime, cooking, and near-electrical death before diving into pure action indulgence.They start with a bit more Winter Olympics chatter before Gibbs checks back in on Culinary Class Wars, because competitive cooking drama apparently never gets old. The idea of a cinematic version of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 gets floated, and suddenly everyone's casting imaginary actors.Mox talks about A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and issues a cautionary warning about Mewgenics that sounds less like a review and more like a public service announcement. He also shares his fireside cooking restaurant experience, which may or may not have changed him spiritually.Izzy recounts his latest home wiring mishaps during renovations before diving into a Madoka Magica rewatch in preparation for the new movie. Emotional damage incoming.Finally, the crew dives into One Percenter (2024)—lean, scrappy, and self-indulgent in all the ways action fans secretly love.Support us on Patreon!

Medical training is still stuck in the arcade era: expensive, basement-bound simulators and outdated software that rarely capture the real stakes of clinical decision-making. In this episode, host Alexandra Takei, Studio Director at Ruckus Games, sits down with Sam Glassenberg, founder of Level Ex (now part of Relevate Health), to unpack how game developers can modernize healthcare learning by truly embracing the craft of video game design, not “gamification” lipstick. The opportunity and the market here are much bigger than you might assume. Healthcare is a trillion-dollar industry in the US alone, and if you can create products that save the medical system money while also growing the $200B video game industry, that's a win-win. The conversation explores why even mediocre games outperform traditional training (the bar is shockingly low), and how live-ops principles let teams update clinical guidance fast. The pair also discusses who plays these games, and it turns out that it's not only doctors but “normal people” who have found these games on the app store. They go deep on design: mapping real clinical challenges to proven genres (diagnosis as reductive-reasoning puzzles, ventilators as rhythm games), and why domain experts often describe what's hard for residents, not what triggers adrenaline for experts, which is the source of “fun” in games. Finally, Sam breaks down the business: sponsored content by clients like Pfizer and Merck, free-to-play for doctors gameplay, and playable ads. We'd also like to thank Overwolf for making this episode possible!

After a volatile few months across games, tech, and public markets, it's time for a grounded check-in on where the industry actually stands. Host Devin Becker is joined by Aaron Bush (Managing Partner & Co-Founder, Naavik) to unpack the latest signals – from AAA publisher performance and what recent EA earnings suggest for big franchises like Battlefield, to Ubisoft's ongoing restructuring, studio closures, and the push to reframe its future through initiatives like Vantage Studios.Next, they dig into Roblox's continued growth and what its recent results imply, even as age-related scrutiny and safety conversations remain part of the narrative.From there, the discussion widens to the state of the console market: the early momentum around Switch 2 sales, the trajectory of Xbox hardware, and why Sony appears to be holding its ground.Devin and Aaron also look at how transmedia is shaping perception and demand, including Nintendo's recent moves and what releases like an upcoming Mario Galaxy movie – and the surprise success of Iron Lung this month – reveal about IP leverage, audience crossover, and timing.They close with addressing the market whiplash around the reveal of Google DeepMind's Genie 3, and a “buy, sell, or hold” round covering Microsoft, Krafton, AAA vs. AA, and PC gaming to highlight where near-term opportunities and risks may be emerging.We'd like to thank Heroic Labs for making this episode possible!

This week on NAFC, the crew starts with a very important linguistic debate: are compound names cheating? No clear answers, just strong opinions and mild frustration.They move on to game and movie check-ins, touching on Nioh 3 and Sweeney's role in The Housemaid, before settling into the main event.The episode closes with a deep dive into Big Fish & Begonia (2016)—a visually lush, emotionally heavy animated film that sparks discussion around mythology, sacrifice, and whether vibes alone can carry a story this big.Support us on Patreon!

In this episode, host Kalie Moore talks with David Lee, Co-founder & CEO of Nex, to unpack one of the rarest success stories in modern gaming: launching a new consumer console and winning. In a category dominated for decades by the same three players, Nex broke through by rethinking who gaming hardware is for. Often compared to Wii or Kinect, Nex's real innovation isn't motion-based play alone, but a family-first platform built around physical activity, kid safety, and parental trust. In a down year for console sales, Nex sold over 650,000 units, expanded into thousands of retail stores, and captured meaningful market share by designing specifically for families.The conversation traces Nex's nearly decade-long journey from mobile-first products to a high-stakes pivot into living-room hardware - and the leadership decisions required to make that leap under uncertainty. Kalie and David dig into why most motion-gaming platforms struggled to last, what Nex designed differently for long-term engagement, and how retail, subscriptions, and trusted IP shaped its growth. The episode closes with a look ahead to Nex's 2026 roadmap, from international expansion to connected play designed with strict family controls, and David's long-term vision for what Nex could mean to families ten or twenty years from now.We'd like to thank Overwolf for making this episode possible!
