For this podcast, we did something a little different: a live Q&A show recorded as part of the official Devcom 2024 Twitch stream. Chris Dring and James Batchelor were joined by Altered Gene's Des Gayle, answering questions submitted by GamesIndustry.biz readers ahead of the show. Topics tackled in this episode included: Why do developers create huge expansions over standalone games? Can Nintendo maintain momentum with Switch 2? How many concurrent users does a multiplayer game need to survive? Will Grand Theft Auto 6 convert last-gen console owners to upgrade?
