We have an insight-packed and hopeful discussion with Owen Mahoney, CEO of Maplestory's Nexon. This Choplifter fan went on to acquire JAMDAT and DICE for EA, then saw the future with Embark. We discuss forever games, where stories come from and the huge growth coming - this week!TIMESTAMPS[0:00:00] Intro: Owen Mahoney[0:10:22] Medium shifts favor beginnersOwen explains why every major technology shift benefits newcomers.[0:19:33] An “unusual background”Owen describes his and Nexon's “unusual backgrounds,” and how they got started. [0:33:23] Most pitches are a product problem, not a marketing problem "90% of the deals that I looked at to build a game... look very similar to something that was already out there in the market. So a lot of what people are calling a marketing problem are in fact a product problem."[0:42:37] Tried to buy Nexon three times at EAOwen reveals he tried to acquire Nexon three times while at EA, and eventually ended up joining them as CFO instead — including nearly landing Riot Games before being outbid by Tencent.[0:48:23] The "forever franchise" thesis behind EmbarkOwen explains the concept of "forever franchises" — games that don't have to peak and decline — and how that philosophy was central to their success and investments.[0:52:55] The industry inverts good game developmentOwen argues that big-budget game development is built backwards: studios front-load expensive art to get green-lights, while leaving the actual "find the fun" iteration — the most important part — until the end.[1:04:11] New technology always creates new kinds of game makersOwen's closing argument on the industry's future: "Every generation comes with its new set of innovators."[1:08:40] Outro: Wrapping UpSupport the showThank you for listening to our podcast all about videogames and the amazing people who bring them to life!Hosted by Alexander Seropian and Aaron MarroquinFind us at www.thefourthcurtain.comJoin our Patreon for early, ad-free episodes plus bonus content at https://patreon.com/FourthCurtainCome join the conversation at https://discord.gg/KWeGE4xHfeVideos available at https://www.youtube.com/@thefourthcurtainFollow us on Twitter: @fourthcurtainEdited and mastered at https://noise-floor.comAudio Editor: Bryen HensleyVideo Editor: Sarkis GrigorianProducer: Kimya TaheriArt: Paul RusselCommunity Manager: Doug ZartmanFeaturing Liberation by 505

Monica Dinsmore is the head of esports at EA, or Electronic Arts. Before working in gaming, Dinsmore worked in the tech industry during the dot-com boom of the late 1990s and then transitioned into finance for nearly 15 years. She then pivoted to the gaming industry with a move to Riot Games, working on League of Legends and eventually working her way up to head of publishing for esports Europe. After realizing her passion for the esports world, she got an opportunity to move to EA, known for its real-life sports titles like Madden NFL, and ultimately became the head of esports. Since Dinsmore arrived at EA, the company has broken engagement records for its esports brands. Today, she's been in the esports world for over a decade and continues to find innovative ways to expand the industry and reach new audiences.

No dia 17 de março de 2026, o cenário digital brasileiro sofreu uma de suas maiores transformações com a entrada em vigor do Estatuto Digital da Criança e do Adolescente, popularmente batizado de "Lei Felca". O que começou como uma denúncia necessária sobre a "adultização" e exploração infantil na internet, transformou-se em uma legislação complexa que divide opiniões entre especialistas, pais e a indústria do entretenimento. Neste vídeo, a Brasil Paralelo detalha os principais pontos da nova lei: desde o combate à erotização infantil e ao design viciante (como a rolagem infinita), até as polêmicas restrições que afetaram gigantes como Rockstar Games e Riot Games. Entenda por que jogos como League of Legends e Fortnite precisaram alterar suas classificações etárias e como o sistema de "loot boxes" — os cassinos virtuais — foi severamente atingido. Analisamos também o impacto na privacidade dos usuários com o fim da autodeclaração de idade e a implementação de verificações biométricas. Por que as crianças estão protestando contra o Felca? Qual o limite entre a proteção do Estado e a liberdade individual?
