20 years ago we had 1 belief: a game can be wordless, and still move you.

To those who floated in flOw, bloomed in Flower, climbed the peak in Journey, or found their flock in Sky: you are the heart of all we do. We couldn't have made it without you.

Thank you. To the next 20!

The conventional wisdom on gaming right now is wrong. Not wrong on the facts. Wrong on the interpretation.

Welcoming Karyn Gibson as Head of IR and Capital Formation.

An LP turned IR professional, she knows what LPs are looking for because she was one at the Brown University endowment and a multi-billion dollar family office. Exactly the perspective Fund III needs.

Welcome, Karyn!

@TheTripHawkins Too kind - thanks Trip!

[Shanti Bergel @sbergel]

Markets recalibrate and conventional wisdom gets tested. That's been the story of gaming over the past few years and 2025 felt like an inflection point.

My annual look back at the year that was and forward to what's next is live on the Transcend blog.

This could be the best oceanic survival game this year 😻

[Brandon J Laatsch @BrandonJLa]

As games reach diminishing returns in visual fidelity, the next step is interaction fidelity. The more the visual gains rely on techniques that prohibit interaction, the larger the visual step back or years spent to develop parity will be. VR requires interaction fidelity.
