Susanne Eickermann-Riepe ist Chair of the Advisory Board RICS Germany und Vorstandsvorsitzende des ICG - Instituts für Corporate Governance in der deutschen Immobilienwirtschaft. Wenn man sich zZt mit dem Thema ESG oder Impact-Investing beschäftigt, kommt man an Susanne Eickermann-Riepe nicht vorbei. Das Stichwort ESG hat viele Unternehmen der Immobilienwirtschaft bisher nur aufgeschreckt und jetzt flattern sie nervös in der Luft, weil sie zwar ein großes strategisches ESG-Panorama, aber noch keinen Landeplatz sehen!? Wie steht Susanne Eickermann-Riepe zu dieser Aussage? Im Podcast klären wir welche Anforderungen aus der sog. Veröffentlichungs- u. Taxonomieverordnung für den Bau- und Immobiliensektor erwachsen, wie die Kriterien des E(nvironment), S(ocial) und G(overnance) operationalisiert werden können, inwiefern die Verfügbarkeit von Daten hier ein Problem darstellt, warum das Thema ESG ein Booster für die Digitalisierung der Immobilienwirtschaft sein könnte, wie das Thema ESG mit Blick auf die Bestandsimmobilien zu diskutieren ist und ob wirkungsorientiertes Investieren nur eine sozialromantische Fehlentwicklung der Finanzindustrie ist, oder der neue Standard sein könnte, an dem sich sämtliche Immobilienaktivitäten messen lassen müssen.

Gründer*innen sind unterschiedlich angetrieben: Die Einen wollen endlich ihre Berufung leben, Andere haben eine Vision. Die nächsten ergreifen eine überraschende Gelegenheit und wieder andere machen aus der Not eine Tugend. ZZt gründen recht viele viele „Corona-Opfer“, also Menschen, die ihren Job verloren haben und einfach keinen neuen finden. Die Vorstellung der Selbständigkeit ist sehr oft sehr romantisch. In den sozialen Medien präsentieren Selbständige sich erfolgreich, erfüllt und befreit. Dass das höchstens die halbe Wahrheit ist, können wir uns denken. Tun es aber besser nicht, wenn wir uns gerade selbst kopfüber ins Abenteuer stürzen wollen. Ob aus der Not heraus oder von Leidenschaft getrieben. Hier kommen handfeste Impulse sowie Methoden, die dir in deiner Findungs-Phase helfen, aus einer romantischen Gründungsidee eine tragfähige Sache zu machen. Enjoy, Cornelia

Tim Sweeney, le patron d’Epic Games, connu pour son célèbre jeu vidéo Fortnite, s'est attaqué en justice à Apple pour abus de position dominante. Le procès a débuté lundi 3 mai à Oakland en Californie.   Le jeu vidéo Fortnite est au centre du conflit entre Epic Games et Apple, accusé de prélever des commissions trop élevées sur les transactions des jeux sur l’App Store. Un fonctionnement que Tim Sweeney a voulu contourner, ce qui lui a valu d’être exclu d’Apple. Dans une interview vidéo donnée au journal américain le New York Times, il s'en explique : « On est arrivé à la conclusion que l’offre d’Apple était non seulement une mauvaise affaire, mais qu’en plus il monopolisait la distribution des jeux sur l’App Store et donc le coût pour les utilisateurs. Il torpille le principe fondamental d’une économie équilibrée: la concurrence. Apple doit changer de politique. » assure-t-il. Démonter une tondeuse à gazon À 51 ans ce fin stratège en affaires, possède une fortune évaluée entre 7 et 9,5 milliards dollars. Il est pourtant parti de rien. Yohan Bensemhoun, journaliste pour Jeuxvidéos.com, raconte : « Il a grandi dans les années 1970. Son père était dans la communication militaire. Il était au sein d’une fratrie de trois garçons et il s’intéressait au bricolage et à l’électronique. Il y a par exemple cette anecdote selon laquelle il aurait démonté une tondeuse à gazon très jeune pour savoir comment elle fonctionnait. Et il s’est passionné très vite pour l’informatique et les jeux vidéo, car il y voyait à peu près le même schéma : le fait qu’un jeu vidéo c’est ni plus ni moins qu’un assemblement de mécanismes qu’on peut démonter et remonter à loisir. Il a passé plus de 10 000 heures entre 11 et 15 ans à bosser sa programmation pour faire des jeux, pour créer des programmes. Puis il a commencé à en vendre et c’est là que l’aventure vidéo ludique a vraiment commencé. » Tim Sweeney fait ensuite des études d’ingénieur à l’Université de Maryland. Mais ce sont les ordinateurs qui le fascinent. Il crée Epic Games en 1991, commercialise son premier jeu ZZT, puis le moteur graphique Unreal Engine utilisé aussi dans l’industrie automobile. En 2017, il met à jour son jeu Fortnite, créé en 2011 qui explose les compteurs avec 350 millions de gamers. Selon Yohan Bensemhoun, « Fortnite a une force exceptionnelle, c’est que c’est un jeu gratuit, mais qui fonctionne sur des petits paiements que vous allez pouvoir faire à travers vos sessions de jeux. Cela veut dire que vous allez acheter un nouveau revêtement pour vos armes, une nouvelle tenue, une nouvelle danse pour saluer vos amis ou pour humilier vos ennemis une fois que vous les avez mis à terre. » Changer les règles de l'économie numérique Tim Sweeney continue sur sa lancée et fonde Epic Games Stores, sa propre plateforme de distribution de contenus en ligne, et consolide sa notoriété aux États-Unis. Dean Takahashi est spécialiste des jeux vidéo à San Francisco. Il explique : « Les gens le respectent parce qu’il dit ce qu’il pense. On le considère aussi comme un véritable expert en technologie qui rendu ses jeux accessibles d’une façon tout à fait nouvelle. Il a permis aux gamers de jouer ensemble sur différentes plateformes. Un joueur sur une console Sony, peut jouer à Fortnite avec un de ses amis qui est lui sur Nintendo. Ils peuvent être rejoint par un autre sur Xbox, que ce soit à partir d’un PC ou d’un appareil mobile. Il a aussi une vision. Il veut que le concept de "Metaverse" devienne réalité. C’est une sorte de monde virtuel où l’on peut jouer, travailler, vivre, interagir sous forme d’avatar, comme on se connecte sur Internet. C’est du domaine de la science-fiction depuis longtemps, mais j’ai été surpris de l’entendre en parler comme si c’était une réalité possible dans un avenir proche. », témoigne Dean Takahashi. Tim Sweeney, un héros pour les développeurs, ne va pas s’enrichir avec ce procès contre Apple, conclut Dean Takahashi. Il ne demande pas de dommages et intérêts. Il veut juste changer les règles de l’économie numérique.  ► À écouter aussi : le procès d'Epic Games contre Apple, «C'est surtout une question de gros sous»

We go deep behind the "epic" story of a plucky game developer from Cary, North Carolina (by way of Potomac, Maryland) which, after bootstrapping for its first 22 years, has quietly morphed into an $18b juggernaut that may become the most important technology company for the next evolution of the internet. And oh yeah, its founder, CEO and controlling shareholder? He cares more about land conservation than he does about money, he's beholden to no one and has the firepower of China's biggest internet giant behind him, and he's willing to stare down Apple, Google and anyone else who doesn't support his vision of an open and equal-opportunity internet future in a fight to the death.

The best companies sell jeans, pickaxes AND find more gold than anyone else. Epic's two-part business model of the Unreal Engine plus Fortnite (and other games and experiences) is like AWS plus Amazon's consumer facing businesses: not only do they create and sell the infrastructure that powers a whole industry, but as their own "first and best" customers they can use its features most effectively and inform their own future roadmap of what to build. "Games as a Service" (embodied by titles like Fortnite, Roblox, Minecraft, League of Legends and Honor of Kings, etc) is a revolution that's unlocking value on the same order of magnitude that SaaS did for software. Much like SaaS apps, GaaS experiences can be built by small teams with a creative insight, in a capital-light fashion on open, best-in-class infrastructure that's cheap to rent (Unreal Engine or Unity). They can be designed to address initially small or niche-seeming use cases and desires (e.g. Battle Royale), but then adapt and scale elastically when they strike a rich vein. And perhaps most importantly they monetize via ongoing subscription and virtual economy revenue that aligns with actual user engagement, vs one-time upfront fees on boxed software. Zero (or low) marginal cost businesses are special opportunities. Anytime you can sell something for a significant price that costs you little/nothing to create incremental copies of — e.g. Fortnite skins — you have the potentially to do very, very well. People sometimes forget, but this dynamic also existed before the internet: the media business (both content and distribution) was perhaps the best and most consistent industry of the 20th century from a Return on Capital perspective. There's a reason Warren Buffet called Tom Murphy and Dan Burke of Capital Cities the best capital allocation team of all-time — they were playing on a field tilted in their advantage. That said, the internet has brought this dynamic to MANY more sectors of the economy, and its next iteration (the metaverse) will extend it to even more. Capital scarcity creates a forcing function for disciplined and effective capital allocation. Capital abundance often leads to undisciplined and ineffective capital allocation. Epic created immense value during its 22 years as a bootstrapped company. While its first $330m capital raise from Tencent in 2012 has ultimately led to even more value creation, the first ~4-5 years post-investment saw the company almost lose its way with multiple long, costly and undisciplined game projects for which actual market demand was unclear. When the company ultimately re-captured its mojo with Fortnite, it was by going back to its roots with a fast-follow project built by a small team in response to clear market demand — with a unique twist that made it special. Retaining "control" — over your distribution, your margins, your product decisions and ultimately your company — allows you to build the biggest possible platform in the long run. The old saying that "you can't build a really big company on someone else's platform" is usually true. Multiple times along its journey, Epic and Tim chose to go the harder, longer, and riskier "independent" route vs. relying on publishers, retailers or (now) app stores. Iteration is the in-practice implementation of compounding. Iteration is a standard dogma in startups and engineering (e.g. "agile", etc.), and compounding is a standard dogma in (value) investing. In practice they're two sides of the same coin: the small iterations that Epic does year in and year out — on both the Unreal Engine and Fortnite + other GaaS experiences — compound to create extraordinary value. Or put another way, within operating businesses like Epic, dollars don't just compound on their own. Retained earnings need to be re-deployed every day to build that next feature or service that future developers (and non-developers!) can build on top of.   Links: MTV Cribs, "Tim Sweeney Edition": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRGUKMKadJ8 Carve Outs: Ben's "3 part carve out": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bErPsq5kPzE - original video demo of Unreal Engine for filmmaking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUnxzVOs3rk - Feb 2020, video on "The Volume" https://ascmag.com/articles/the-mandalorian David Asimov's Foundation Series: https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Asimovs-Foundation-Foundations-Prelude/dp/B01EFDEMS8   Sources: (also available on Journal at https://usejournal.com/app/space/journal:space:project/7efa6d43-a601-4784-8e36-1edda2b1b451 ) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cliff_Bleszinski https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_Games https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unreal_Engine_games#Unreal_Engine_4 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Sweeney_(game_developer) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZZT https://forums.unrealengine.com/community/general-discussion/40293-does-epic-make-more-money-from-games-or-game-engines https://gamasutra.com/view/feature/132426/from_the_past_to_the_future_tim_.php https://kotaku.com/the-quiet-tinkerer-who-makes-games-beautiful-finally-ge-5865951 https://open.spotify.com/episode/0c8KkHc3lrHgGVyRVCo5B3 (Wizard & the Bruiser episode on Epic) https://overcast.fm/+aLde2gbYE https://overcast.fm/+JNncEontw https://techcrunch.com/2018/12/27/epic-fortnite-3-billion-profit/ https://twitter.com/sarahjeong/status/1298031302357082112?s=10 https://variety.com/2018/gaming/news/fortnite-epic-games-billion-dollar-decision-1202884194/ https://venturebeat.com/2018/04/26/superdata-fortnite-is-now-the-biggest-free-to-play-console-game-ever/ https://web.archive.org/web/20010519154729/http://www.gamespot.com/features/makeunreal/ https://www.appannie.com/en/apps/ios/top/united-states/games/iphone/ https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-08-19/epic-games-fortnite-battle-with-apple-and-google-can-be-traced-to-nintendo-tax https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-made-360-million-from-fortnite- in-app-purchases-2020-8 https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/12/epic-games-company-behind-fortnite-was-founded-by-a-college-kid.html https://www.cnbc.com/2018/12/14/the-reason-epic-landed-a-15-billion-valuation-is-not-fortnite-success.html https://www.cnbc.com/2020/01/07/apple-app-store-had-estimated-gross-sales-of-50-billion-in-2019.html https://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/132426/from_the_past_to_the_f uture_tim_.php?print=1 https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2013-03-22-tencent-paid-usd330m-for-48-percent-share-in-epic-games https://www.gamespot.com/articles/chinese-internet-company-owns-40-percent-of-epic-games/1100-6405749/ https://www.gamesradar.com/the-epic-tradition/ https://www.ign.com/articles/1999/02/04/epic-sets-up-shop https://www.matthewball.vc/all/epicgamesprimermaster https://www.newsobserver.com/news/business/article238221784.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/25/technology/fortnite-creator-tim-sweeney-apple-google.html?referringSource=articleShare https://www.pcgamesn.com/steam-revenue-cut-tim-sweeney https://www.polygon.com/2012/10/1/3438196/better-with-age-a-history-of-epic-games https://www.polygon.com/2013/11/21/5128872/epic-classics-ships-last-copy-of-zzt https://www.polygon.com/a/epic-4-0 https://www.polygon.com/a/epic-4-0/the-four-lives-of-epic-games https://www.theverge.com/2020/1/2/21046920/fortnite-revenue-drop-superdata-nielsen-2019-earnings https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/17/21369460/apple-fortnite-app-store-services-business-model-epic-games https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-man-behind-fortnite-11560571201

Misspent Youth is a LGBTIQA+ podcast on video games, why we play, and who we are. In the pilot episode, host Robert Fenner (@misanthrobob) talks about his experiences as an awe-struck toddler Yu Suzuki's arcade oeuvre, before consuming (and being consumed by) Phantasy Star as an early push-back against Midwestern masculine ideals. Later, he discovers Shin Megami Tensei, before falling in love with ZZT and its community as a means of queer expression and acceptance.

Built to Play sacrifices the news for another day! We're talking to our guests about Phoenix Wright, ZZT, and the future of E3. If you played something Japanese in the 2000s, chances are Alexander O. Smith translated it. Alex has translated everything from the Final Fantasy series, the novel All You Need is Kill, and the Dr. Slump manga. But here at Built to Play, there's really only one game in his long portfolio that matters: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. The game is a visual novel from Capcom and stars Phoenix Wright, a down on his luck lawyer living in Los Angeles, who has to solve all of his cases in only three days. It's a charming and often funny game that relies on its stellar translation, which is far from literal. Download Here. Subscribe on iTunes. Subscribe on Stitcher Radio.  While the translation stays true to the tone and the overall plot, the dialogue can be completely different. And it kind of has to be. The names are Japanese puns and the dialogue is filled with references to Japanese society. The punchlines often don't make a lick of sense in English. So Alex had a lot of room to write his own jokes, and play with the characters.  Though by changing so much, you often run into issues down the line. Gyakuten Saiban, the japanese name of the series, is set in Tokyo, which causes the brunt of the inconsistencies. A hamburger shop mentioned in the early games has to reappear as a noodle stand later on. That's a small issue, but consider that the designers recently decided that the newest game would star Phoenix's direct ancestor, a samurai living in late 19th century Japan.  **You can hear more from Alexander O. Smith's translation process, the definition of a perfect localization and how Phoenix Wright was almost Roger Wright,  less than a minute into the episode. ** Back in good old North America, we talked to the author of the new book in the Boss Fight Series, ZZT. Anna Anthropy tells us about the history of an internet community and its diversity.  1991's ZZT is a weird game to talk about. It's an adventure game built from ANSI characters, all numbers, letters and symbols. It had a limited color palette, and even more limited story. But that's not that part of ZZT people remember the most. ZZT attracted a large community because it came with a level editor and a simple programming language that let you make your own games out of the ZZT engine. These games would then be shared online on message boards and forums, and covered a wide variety of genres and topics. People continue to make ZZT games to this day, and the most recent copy  of ZZT was ordered from its creator, Tim Sweeney, back in 2013. Anna Anthropy writes about that community and how it inspired her own growth as a designer and a writer. She met people who had the same concerns as her, and just like her, were trans. She says it's like a predecessor to the feminist-minded Twine community, which encourages everyone of every creed to make games.  But ZZT attracted all sorts of people, from teenagers trying to discover their own identity to trolls who attacked other creators. So talking about people who make ZZT game can get a little complicated.  Anna Anthropy tells us all about the history of ZZT, why it matters, and reasons why you should check out ZZT games today starting at 17:00. By the way, Anna gave us a couple recommendations that didn't make it into the episode, but here's a few: Ned the Knight, Kudzu, and Eli's House. For more, she has a whole list of great ZZT games to play onher website. You can pick up her book at Boss Fight Series page.  Last month, no one could stop talking about E3, but that's not necessarily a good thing. Many have questioned whether E3 is lessening in importance, or if its actually bad for the industry as a whole.  We've had 20 Electronic Entertainment Expos since its start, and whether they've been in Las Vegas, Santa Monica or Los Angeles, it's almost always been one of the most anticipated game-related events of the year. But its relevance seems to be changing as the years go by. Most publishers had nothing concrete to announce at E3. Electronic Arts barely had games to show beyond the concept level. The two big press conferences, Sony's and Microsoft's, were milquetoast, especially as they announced the big new games of two years from now. Meanwhile Nintendo didn't have a press conference. They broadcasted Robot Chicken jokes and two new franchises over the internet.  So to check its value, we checked in with Daniel Kaszor, the editor of the Post Arcade at one of Canada's largest newspapers, the National Post. According to him, E3 probably won't be going anywhere, but with fewer big budget games coming out each year, the demographics are shifting. E3 isn't even the biggest show of its kind anymore. That would be Gamescom in Germany, where the public days attract hundreds of thousands. The E3 of five years from now might look very different from how we know it today. Daniel tells us about the Post Arcade's coverage of E3, and whether E3 is even all that beneficial to big publications starting 32:40. You can find the Post Arcade here. We also ran a short rerun of our interview with Nadine Lessio and Kara Stone from the Vector Game Arts Festival back in March. The game they talked about, Sext Adventure, is now out and available to everyone who wants to try it. What did we think about it: "As part of the Feb Fatale game jam, a 48-hour race to finish a game, they created a text adventure based on sexy phone texts. You contact an anonymous android who attempts to satisfy humans sexually, but instead lapses into existential depression. Our sex-positive reporter, Daniel Rosen, dug deep into the jam game, and discussed with Stone and Lessio society's intimate relationship with technology, the eventual disharmony routed in cyborg theory and dildos."  The tomfoolery starts around 44:40.   This week's music comes from the Pheonix Wright: Ace Attorney soundtrack and the Free Music Archive. From the former, we used the song, "Pressing Pursuit -  Cornered Witness." From the Free Music Archive, we used "As Colorful as Ever" by Broke for Free, "Blue" by Podington Bear, "Hallon" by Christian Bjoerklund. **Special thanks to Josh Rosenberg who played Phoenix Wright, and Alexander O Smith who said Objection that one time. Capcom please don't sue us.  ** **As always, this weeks episode was produced and edited by Arman Aghbali and written by Daniel Rosen. **
