We already got a glimpse of it earlier, but the biggest inspiration at #GDC2023 will be #web3 again this year - people will be amazed how many AAA titles there are on the way, and how many diverse ways there are to implement #blockchain besides basic P2E. AI next.

I had the absolute honour to receive my Knighthood today from the Princess Royal at Windsor Castle. I am incredibly proud. It was a truly humbling and wonderful experience. And it is deserved recognition of the games industry and all the brilliant people who are part of it.
