He will discuss ‘The Multiplayer Revolution,’ and explain why the industry needs to catch-up in meeting gamers’ multiplayer needs.

"The gaming landscape is evolving at such a pace that developers have to move quickly to keep up with player’s expectations. In the session I will be sharing my view that multiplayer online games hold the key to the future of the industry, and give my analysis of how we as a company have adapted to stay ahead of the pack."
