Georg Washington, CEO of Synergy Blue.
Is the rise in the popularity of skill-based gaming continuing at the pace that had been anticipated?
I think there was a little confusion during the initial hype surrounding the term “skill-based” and what that really meant, which is why we’ve been using the term “skill-influenced.” Companies are just now getting through all the compliance processes and jurisdictional regulations - one of the big hurdles for skill-influenced game developers - but now I think the industry is finally getting to the other side of this and the time is right to put these games into action.
The process for game adoption and proliferation will take time, but we are still seeing a huge amount of excitement around skill.
