Congrats on the inaugural A16Z GAMES publication and the announcement of the 3rd Speed Run. The attention you're driving towards this industry creates real action. Keep on writing the good right.
Looking forward to the day y'all make it out to the midwest.
I wish a16 explored some other opportunity sets in gaming besides the flashy AI hype. There are so many fascinating new approaches to gaming ranging from new controller approaches, to blending the real world and gaming worlds, community integration with games, and more. It seems like a shame to have such a myopic focus.
We actually agree: there’s incredible stuff happening in so many areas of gaming right now. We think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the variety of topics we cover here. AI is an important part of the mix but we’re interested in empowering founders across the industry.
Awesome to hear - and yeah, looking forward to seeing how the A16Z team is approaching these other opportunities. While AI is a huge innovation, it's definitely overshadowing some of the more substantial and interesting products emerging in the market especially with F2P mobile's hold on the market weakening.
Great article, Andrew.
