Love Sarah bringing up enterprise businesses turn to games to build experiences.

 

[Biosnake]

Phil: Oh you're trying to build a Metaverse? Cool you mean a video game.

Sarah is amazing, found it funny how she said Sony announced their subscription service haha.

 

[vixolus]

16:10 Sarah saying Sony's announced their [game] subscriptions 👀 have they though Sarah? Spartacus coming in hot

 

[Theorry]

I mean Spartacus is kinda worst kept secret haha

 

[Biosnake]

I'm assuming Sarah knows quite a bit more about Spartacus than we do and accidentally said that. Which is hilarious because some of the producers were prob watching and were like "shit".

Spartacus leaked on the MS store

 

[Gavalanche]

Spartacus is actually just gamepass. It all makes perfect sense now!

 

[Kyrios]

Sarah is legitimately great. First I've watched from her.

It gets talked about it online like it's a known quantity, we might literally know each tier and what it offers after Grubb spoke about it last. That hits the news cycle and it's not crazy to think someone reads a story or a headline about Spartacus and thinks there had been an official announcement.

Someone like sarah should know better than to take online conversation on something like this as a fact without checking themselves though

 

[KainXVIII]

[Azerth]

Almost certainly seems that way. They've been raising her profile across all their public engagement: talks, showcases, podcasts, social media etc.

 

[christocolus]

Always great to hear from these two.

 

[crazillo]

They're both such great leaders. It's interesting to see the growing relevance of gaming expertise in more and more industries.
