The Store Discussion
In the final session of Digital Discovery, we will be looking at the landscape for buying and selling games in 2019. Steam is clearly not working for everyone and there are a variety of other platforms that are popping up such as Epic Games' new platform, Kartridge from Kongregate as well as the blockchain-powered Robot Cache. We will be looking at these changes and seeing how developers need to adapt to this brave new world.
